5. Twitter: Blah blah social networking. This site is on here because you can stalk people with it. I no longer use Facebook because of the amount of information I could uncover about other people through it. I find twitter does the same, so if you ever need to do a research project on a modern-day young person...
4. Tumblr: Tumblr is an addicting website. There's just so much on there, so many subcommunities and fan-cultures within the large network. I personally browse the tags gymnastics, Sherlock, and Doctor Who most often.
3. FanFiction.Net: I love reading stories on this website. The only thing that bugs me is the format. However, there are mountains of talented, creative amateur writers out there that can imagine so much more into a previously created fictional premise.
2. PostSecret: Talk about Community. The PS Community is huge, expansive, and almost completely open. It's a beautiful thing. I like Secret Sundays very much.
1. DeviantArt: This is my personal favorite because of my involvement in it. I like to display my photography here. Artists get criticism, which, because it isn't censored, isn't always clean or constructive. Also, there are quite a few instances of art theft. However, these blunders can be overlooked to discover an online community that can help you grow as a sketcher, writer, photographer, whatever.
Facebook has been left out because unlike these other sites, you absolutely have to have an account to access most features. Youtube has been because it's assumed that everyone has heard of the awesome-ness of Youtube. That and I don't personally like it so much.
