What are your favorite sites other than VideoSift?
I'm interested in where else Sifters go on their daily web travels. Beyond the mainstream news sites, it's PopURLs, Techmeme, Reddit and (grudgingly) TechCrunch. Ohh, and leately this site, as I've been downloading a lot of iPhone games.
It's changed for me over the past couple of years - used to visit Mashable, MetaFilter and SlashDot a lot more - but those have tapered off.

Even though I am not posting atm, I am alive and kicking, and I do check VS - mostly just sifttalk these days - at least a few times a week. Every morning I do check cnn.com, 2 or 3 of my local news sites, and .. (yes, no 'manly man' will probably check some of these, or at least admit it.. but they are good/fun sites I check for mental wellbeing/fun/laughter!)
http://www.engrish.com/ and
http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ - just for laughs
http://www.perezhilton.com/ - OK, I love celebrity gossip
http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/ - Well, ain't this cool?
http://www.aromaleigh.com/ - as a female, with make-up allergies, mineral make-up is the best!!
http://www.bme.com/ - OK, I have just one non-ear-related piercing, but this place has it all.. piercings, tattoos, implants and then some..
And
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ - just to see if what you wanted to go see in the movies this week really is worth watching!
