Title: What other messageboards/newssites do you frequent?
Post by: Coshy on November 05, 2007, 11:34:14 AM
Subject says it all. What other messageboards or newssites do you visit? I'm looking to broaden my horizons past CNN.

I'm especially interested in the conspiracy theory ones, 'cuz sometimes you just need a good laugh.

Title: what I read
Post by: texasmom on November 05, 2007, 01:22:42 PM
I always look at local papers
http://www.kdhnews.com/
http://www.statesman.com/
http://www.chron.com/
http://www.star-telegram.com/

Then I look at the news site from a couple of the local TV channels
http://www.kxxv.com/Global/category.asp?C=50703&nav=menu509_3_1
http://www.kcentv.com/
http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/?SecID=1

Then I look these other news sites:
http://abcnews.go.com/
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/
http://www.foxnews.com/

Then after that if I need a good chuckle I go to:
http://www.cnn.com/

Used to sift through these, but lately they're a pain to navigate through.
http://www.chn-net.com/support/news_organizations.html

I like Drudge too, because of all the other links mostly.

I have RSS News Feeds such as from the BBC.
http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_world_edition/front_page/rss.xml

I like using RSS, it's more like a list of newspaper articles and I chose to view the list, newest ones first.

In my opinion, FireFox handles RSS better than IE does.

Binnews.com is a private site.  This is for many reasons, figure them out on your own please.  Heres how it works going forward:
- If you have a current account, nothing to do.
- If you had an account and it is no longer working, click on the billing link below and purchase a subscription
...
- If you never had an account with us, you are SOL, no seriously... use the contact form and state why you need an account.  Begging may be necessary.

LOLOL! So totally funny. Is that a real site?  Their customer service seriously sucks if that ain't a joke.:rofl

I'm going to Placencia in May. Thinking of moving there and want to look around.

Don't know too much about the mainland, had some friends do the Mayan trip thing last year and said they liked it very much.

I'm not into tours and the tourista thing as they are. My idea for a tropical vacation is a small sand island, a few grass huts, and a reef to dive in.  I have been giving the resorts on Glovers a good look lately.

You thinking of moving down there due to you developing your land in Texas as a toxic waste dump?

Industrial waste dump. No, I have been planning this for over a year. Sounds like you and I have the same thing in mind. That's why I'm looking at Placencia and maybe further south to Punta Gorda.

I've been talking with a guy that lives near me and has a place down there. His place is inland near the Mayan ruins and he's been giving me some tips on where and what to look for. He bought 10 acres with a 2000sqft house for $1000.
