Here is a list of popular or upcoming websites that you might find interesting, especially if you’re always online or go online just to find something to occupy yourself.
Everyone is on the lookout for new sites on the web, especially if you already spend hours on the Internet. Here is a very nice collection of sites, from music and gaming to fonts and other entertaining stuff, there is definitely something here that each “surfer” will find interesting.

Kongregate – Softcore Gaming

Kongregate is a flash video game site driven by user-generated content. Aspiring game developers submit their work to have it played and debated among the site’s online community. Not every game is a hit, but games like Desktop Defender and Castle Wars will hook you and leave you wondering what happened to all that time you had. The site recently closed another round of funding and received an additional $5M, so look for bigger and better things from it in the future.

Musicovery – For Music Lovers

This free music player lets you plot your mood on a spectrum and then creates a chart of songs to fit your mood. You can further narrow your results by genre, year, and whether the tunes are hits or not. It’s a great way to discover new music and find the perfect tunes to fit your day. Watching Musicovery plot connections between artists and songs is also quite a lot of fun.

Dafont – Cool Fonts

The site collects the coolest fonts you’d ever need. DaFont features thousands of fonts, all uploaded by various users worldwide. Navigation around the site is straightforward: Simply browse for fonts either by the categories listed at the top of each page, or by searching for a font name. Most of these free fonts are compatible with both Macs and PCs.

Joox – Movies/Animes/Cartoons

Here you can find lots of new or old movies and one of the reasons I like this site is because the movies are in DivX format which is very neat and clean for the most part. The site is regularly updated which is good, but also means that a new movie could be here today, and nowhere to be found tomorrow. It’s best to keep a close eye.
-
Stick Page – Stick Games and Stick Movies

This is one site I’m definitely on whenever I have time to spare. It’s a flash site with ton’s of stick games and stick movies, a must have on your bookmark list. Check it out it’s a guaranteed plus if you need something to do online, or have some time to kill.
-
XE – Currency Conversion

Simply the best site for currency conversion I’ve found to date. But that’s probably because since I found this site I have no reason to look for another. It’s complete, has all currencies, and is up to the minute… You really need nothing else…
-
Mess – For MSN Messenger Lovers

This site is a must see for those of you that cannot be easily parted from your dearly beloved MSN. They have a bunch of add-ons, MSN betas, tweaks, etc. Be sure to visit and search through this site, you might end up bookmarking it too…
You might also want to get Messenger Plus Live, an add-on for MSN that you’d wonder how u did without.
-
Freeware for Pocket PC – For Pocket PC Users

The self acclaimed “largest Pocket PC freeware downloads archive.” And to date I found no reason to doubt them. My HTC touch is loaded with applications from this site and keep going back occasionally to see if I missed anything. A must visit for those of you with a pocket pc that’s in need of a makeover.

An educational site, but your geek lings won’t ever notice. The site features award-winning games, loads of fun, and the animated videos make this a popular choice with both school teachers and homeschooling parents. In fact, many parents prepare their children for standardized tests by using BrainPOP.

How about Graspr.com??
Graspr is an instructional video site, but we are also involved in enhancing users’ own websites through the inclusion of video. We just had a big release with new tools for users and the launch of our syndication platform. Not only do we allow our users to browse videos that pertain to their interests, but we are now also able to allow them to upload their own original videos and edit them on-site, embed videos on their personal websites, even generate some revenue through advertising.
