I really don't know what website I visit the most, but I guess that I really use Wikipedia: http://www.wikipedia.com/.I'm pretty sure that I found the web like everyone else: out of need. So, I think there is no big story in that.
And even though I think it is the website I visit the most, I always find something interesting there: if I have a doubt about a particular thing or when I'm just looking around and browsing.
A classic situation for me is to be looking a TV show and don’t know some particular thing: like when I’m looking “Dr. House” or “Bones” and they are talking about some strange disease or condition, then I go to Wikipedia and look for the meaning.
I know that maybe it is considered a boring and “nerd” website, but I really found it useful when I want to know more about something and I don’t have the right book or I know that the thing is too weird to ask another person.

I also use it a lot, specially when I forget the meaning of concepts, or when I want to know about an author, or a book, or whatever! everything's in wikipedia! It's so useful...not like the website I chose! :)
Yep. As I see it, internet's my God and Wikipedia is it's prophet.. I can find virtually anything there. What I like the most about Wiki is that it not only has 'academic' information, but also data about all sorts of cultural references, including music, film, 'famous' people, colloquialisms,current events, politics, etc. And the best part is that it just keeps expanding!
Thanks, Wiki!
Yes, I am addicted to Wikipedia as well. It´s not a research source, of course, but it is very handy for getting general knowledge about things you encounter day to day--just like you say in your examples of the TV shows.
Here are some suggestions regarding your English:
