NEWS. Something that is very important yet ignored too often. I am not totally unaware of the forces and events happening today, but I am sometimes unaware of important events – some of which that even impact my life. I do not go out of my way to read sources of information such as The New York Times though I recognize the importance of doing so.
If there is something that really affects the life around me, I can usually rely on my parents to tell me something about it which, if important enough, can get me off the couch and into reading about it. Otherwise most of my information comes as I browse the web - Usually from friends and from the Yahoo News. Facebook is actually a great source of information, if you know that all that you hear may not be true. Even then, you hear information that you may not have heard before, especially if it affects people you know.
The Yahoo News is very brief and nicely classified. It is my homepage, so whenever I open a browser window, I see the highlights and if they aren’t related to politics, I usually explore them. For example, today, some pages in Yahoo News that I explored were “Billionaire Arrested”, “Leaders meet underwater” and “Ground Offense Begins in Pakistan Al-Qaida haven”. These webpages show my interests are mainly important events that affect a great many people but I also look at “Baby Likes Loud Music” and other entertaining/informative webpages.

I like how you gave examples of the articles you read. I can relate to your habits because I avoid politics and try to read into larger issues, and more interesting ones. Yahoo News is pretty great. :)
