161 responses..
Rand recently posted his 5 websites he could not live without and asked for others to post there’s.
Here is mine:
Yup thats the whole list.
My wife and my daughter I could not imagine living without but godamn SEO BLOGS?!?!?
I am amazed at how many people in the comments list all the sites they cant imagine life without… I guess I am in the minority.

How about shoemoney.com ?
I could totally live without this site. Its BY FAR the lowest return time/money that I have ever done. Blogs are the biggest timesinks =(
But you’re having fun right ?:)
they do take up a lot of time. especially if you are trying to monetize them.
Huh! What type of blog are you running? It takes me around three hours a day to interview people. Another one hour to review and post the dang thing online. But I do it because I enjoy blogging, where as most people mainly do it for the money, or etc.

This comment is for this dude down there v
Of course Shoe is having fun! People that meet him keep asking for autographs and pictures. Isn’t that right Jeremy?
So it desktop defender… hahaha
Hey I’ll take over shoemoney.com If you want to get it off your hands
Hahaha. J/k of course.
lol, I wasn’t even look at the question from a making money angle.
i think you dont really care how much this shoemoney blog makes. it is just bonus if there is revenue. this is for you to make some ranting. there is no fun if no one is reading your rants
Nice front. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on.
i personally thought for few seconds that my network was really slow loading an image or so… then i understood.
I would just change the title to “5 websites i could not start working without visit them” (not sure about the grammar) and I could see that. I personally never start working before reading my favorites newspaper sites and blogs.
very nice posting. I totally agree, my list looks just like yours.
I started looking trough the html source
Haha. When I first saw this, I thought there was a video loading or something.
seems like you would atleast have nextpimp or auctionads. not sure but they seem relevant to you.
I could live without them and focus more on our brick and mortar business investments.
I can’t wait til the next q & a. I am new to reading about people making money on the internet, so hearing things such as the above surprise me. It seems most people try to go the other way…
There’s this site about some party with lemons that I just don’t seem to be able to make it through my days without.
is it an empty list? i don’t see any in the list you said
i weep for your children
lol that cracks me up
haha… he wanted to say that he could live without the websites, and that his family is the one that it’s the most important in his life.
I can’t see anything either. Do this have to be viewed a certain way?
Haha. Guilty of not reading the question.
“couldn’t live without” is a little strong….
i didnt get it i thought that my ad blocker was blocking them, but then i got it. i could do without the web, it would be hard at first, but i could do it.
I did without the Web for the first 20 some-odd years of my life. I was happy then. I do like the Web and all the fun it brings and the promise it brings to the world of brining it closer together and sharing ideas, but I could live without it. I don’t know what sites I rely on.
Off topic:
Your own posting is appearing in the friends’ posts (dmoz extortion)
ya im playing with some things
Update:
All the postings in the friend’s section are from yourself..
right on, Shoe. I just unplug when I’m away and it’s fine. The blah-blah just goes on whether i read it or not. What cracks me up is that I can fire up the reader after 2 weeks and see another dozen “google changed its algo” or “5 ways to improve your….” post. It just doesn’t change.
What? You could live without Desktop Nexus? Heresy!
=p
Sick new implementation of an RSS idea there Jeremy.
Yep, the web is just another way for people to tie themselves to something, my last vacation I logged back on and then just mass deleted the emails from the 3 days I was gone and it seems like I missed nothing.
Hey on another note, this guy tried to buy one of my domains and he followed the shoemoney buying domains strategy you have in an earlier post, now that I’ve thrown out the $5000 figure for him to pay we’ll see if he will either sh1t or get off the pot, lol.
Come on. I know you could not live without Perezhilton. lol
I have switched from perez to thesuperficial
I have switched from neither one to nothing else. I just don’t see the point… it’s like I want to read for information and listen / watch entertainment.
Ive switched from perez to stabbing my eyes with forks, its alot more pleasant.
both are great for the random celeb shot
I was like, “where’s the damned list!” lol, good one. And I agree.
Shoemoney, what do you actually do besides this blog? I am a new member and don’t know much about you except hearing that you made millions doing online stuff like I do.
are you making millions like him? sure?
no, I meant I heard that Shoemoney makes millions, I don’t make anything lol. I wanted to know what other stuff Shoemoney does besides this blog, I thought he made millions on this blog but he said otherwise on a recent post.
I guess once you get a good name and are successful in something, it’s much easier to build new projects. Would love to discuss this topic with Shoe, but will probably move it to the forum before getting carried away and making a huge post in the comments…
Jeremy makes sites focused on a service. He makes them really good and the traffic naturally follows. He’s also really good at monetizing them, which helps a lot. I’ve got a ton of respect for him and Dave both, and I don’t give out respect all that easy.
I agree, I could live without any sites at all, though I wouldn’t want to live without usbank.com ..do all my banking through that site.
[...] else is posting their lists, so here are mine. These are the 5 sites I can’t live [...]
Of course I could live without electricity too, but that would be boring at first and then I’d find other interests.
Like… without electricity… geeks would totally cease to exist. We’d all be relegated to doing… uhm… real world stuff. The horror! The HORROR!
They had geeks before electricity ie Ben Franklin,Aristotle, Da Vinci, Archimedes, the list goes on.
You forgot Socrates and Abraham Lincoln, those guys were great in the Bill and Ted movie
Awesome.
Oh here is my list:
Google.com
Now you tell me that you miss days without typing Google.com?
I don’t search at all on the weekends, and probably 2 - 3 days during the week. I have a few sites I go to for information, and everything else is just spent working on my own sites or my 9-5.
I couldn’t live with google. =(
hmm well then you’ll have to destroy it somehow, as it’s practically everywhere!
Hmm google resembles the matrix in some weired way…
lol… yes indeed… Google is the Matrix… Unplug while you can!
Don’t want to. I like living in th fantasy world of google
ProBlogger… Google… TMZ… OffTopic… WordPress
It’s hard to imagine not using the Internet daily, but after a week or two on vacation I’m ready to abandon it altogether…then I crack the lid of my MacBook Pro and I’m instantly hooked again…it’s a drug!!!
Hahaha, i love it when people say ridiculous things like “I can’t live without XYZ.” Yes, yes you can. People lose parents and grandparents and other loved ones and they still live on… to attach that meaning to websites? C’mon…
Hehe. The only sites I couldn’t live without are the ones I own. Why? Because I literally couldn’t live since they’re my only cash source.
haha amen to that!
Yeah… you’d have to learn how to make money some other way.
Another brilliant Shoemoney blog. I love it!
I couldn`t live without online banking.
he is talking about sites not “real” things
And obviously this is not just a scam to get people to look at the actual site to make sure they didn’t miss anything. Allowing you to hit them with the rss popup. I wonder which one is going to win. You are both devious, that’s for sure.
you have no idea
lol… yeah for a minute there I had to pinch myself because I thought I was back in the 90’s again…
Hey man… you gotta do what you gotta do. Keep those numbers climbing.
I’d have to say blank list for me too. They are just websites for crying out loud. Although I think the “can’t live without part” is just hyping up the title for better link bait. Sounds better than “5 really great websites”.
I could live without computers
I don’t think there are any sites I can’t live without. I do have five sites that I hit more often than any other (more out of habit than anything), but I don’t have cravings for them in any real sense.
Pop Ups suck
Pop up only worked once for me…
I totally missed the pop-up. I was trying to change to a different program and accidentally clicked on the blog page, making it go away. What was on the pop-up?
The pop-up was a chance to sign up for Shoemoney’s RSS feed to his blog (the contest, you know!)
If I had to choose 5 sites that I would be restricted to for a period of time, I guess they’d be :
- reuters.com (to keep up with news)
- wikipedia.org (to look thing up)
- php.net (reference for code)
- maybe youtube.com (for entertainment)
I can’t think of a 5th site off the top of my head. I guess I could LIVE without any of them. My wife is slowly showing me how to exist for days at a time without the Internet. I only go on once on our honeymoon.
what about Google? Could be your 5th website no?
It would be in my list.
well some of the….more affluent IM marketers can say this after the INTERNET has created them an nest egg of other bricks and mortar ,shares etc investments that bring home the bacon on auto.
..as for my fav sites hey ,i bookmark tons of sites i never get to,but shoemoney aint one of them thanks to non boring fresh honest fun content,which is well targetted to the likeminded visiting crowd.
Well so would i if the situation arises in the future.
The internet is a time and life sucker,apart from sleeping and sitting in the crap house.
But the truth is no one whom is addicted to this Internet shat can,stay away for more then two days without getting withdrawal symptoms..such has our lives been changes by online highway
I can live with out these blogs - but I CANT live ONLINE without these blogs…
Shoemoney.com
MilovPatel.com
JohnChow.com
SitePoint.com
DigitalPoint.com
You listed 4 sites I’ve never been to. Am I really missing out in my online life?
Who in the world is Milov Patel ?
[...] In response to Rand’s article about the 5 sites he could not live without, I decided that sites you could live without are more interesting if you think about it. A lot of them are fun and great resources but when it comes down to it they can be production killers and time wasters. Even Shoe got in on this one. [...]
What about the sites you could live without?
It be hard to go without online banking. Who gets paper statements anymore?
Actually he did add…
(or at least, couldn’t earn as much without)
I’d like to know your answer to his question, shoe.
I nominate this for the greatest blog post, no, make that the GREATEST POST EVER anywhere on the internet. Unfortunately Blogger’s Choice Awards doesn’t have that category or I would actually do it.
I don’t think there are any websites that I couldn’t live without. Keyword is live.
I like my internet hobby.
HaHaHa. Keepin it Real.
my 5 webpages that I can’t live without
Shoemoney Home, Shoemoney Forums, Shoemoney Marketplace, Shoemoney Photos and Shoemoney Advertising.
Now thats what we call ButtKissing! Now gimme a link back
My 5:
Lifehacker.com
Drudgreport.com
Shoemoney.com
bloglines.com
Technorati.com
My online translation tools… life would be much more difficult..and I would have to study more… (;_;;;;;
Haha.. got me. I thought it was a typo.
There’s a few websites I cannot live without as a single hetrosexual man. Unfortunately I can’t list them here. Family website and all
Well, that was a nice list, but i guess for me it would be DP(DigitalPoint) and techmeme.
Thats about it..including gmail ofcourse!
Google, Gmail
I can’t see the list. Where is it?
I have the same poblem
Oh, and ShoeMoney (but that’s just a given right
)
Now that’s a nice list, I must confess I’ve highlighted the text to check if there was something hidden… :p
I can’t live without my PC, that’s for sure, and probably without some of my websites, but then again I read this and that every now and then, but I don’t have that kind of list…
Without websites, I would be a lumber jack by choice
Yea well put, saying you can’t “live without” a website is a bit ott…
lmao I know. I could live without any website. One thing I couldn’t live without with is money though, if I was a millionaire I would just be on the beach in jamacia or something about 60% of my time and then the rest spent working on new projects.
I couldn’t live without howtobreath.com
It’s nice to be here. The one and only site I can’t live without is Google.com.
