3 sources of online motivation

A couple weeks ago, Greg discussed the ways that he stays motivated and finds new creative ideas. For me, I prefer to find my creativity online, since my computer seems to be permanently attached to my hip.
The 3 places that I know I can turn to whenever I need something to pique my interest are:

  1. Stumbleupon I use their toolbar in my browser, so it is as simple as clicking “stumble!” and I get sent to a site that fits within the areas of interest I have pre-set. I can then choose whether I like or don’t like what they give me. This allows stumbleupon to learn what you like and become more and more customized just for you. Not only do I have things like web design, social media and marketing tagged, but I also include photography, cooking and fashion. Having a strong mix means I rarely get the same things, and they are usually very helpful in boosting my creativity.
  2. Twitter Sometimes it is more important to look at what other people are sharing than to share your own thoughts. I have collected some of the best links and thoughts from my followers, without needing to add my own 140 character thought. I enjoy just listening to the conversation around me, and it is hard to hear if I am always trying to add my 2 cents.
  3. Ad Age Online Advertising Age covers some of the most important stories and changes in our industry, and while you can get it mailed to you, I prefer to read it online. It makes it easier to share the links to the stories, and I can click through at my own convenience. While I don’t always agree with their perspective on stories, it does provide a great place to find them all.

Which sites do you find motivation? Is there a site that I should be looking at that I am missing?
