In summary, a group of individuals discussed their regular visits to various physics and general science websites. Some of the popular sites mentioned were arxiv.org, nature.com, sciencemag.org, and physicsweb.org. Other websites such as newscientist.com, wired.com, and space.com were also mentioned. Many of the individuals also use RSS feeds to stay updated on these websites.

On a normal weekday morning (i.e. I'm not on vacation or travelling), this is the list of sites I go to without fail (not in any particular order)

http://arxiv.org/
http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html
http://www.sciencemag.org/
http://publish.aps.org/
http://www.iop.org/ (Actually, I go straight to the Journal page, but unless you have site access, you may not be able to get to that page directly)
http://physicsweb.org/
http://scitation.aip.org/

And of course, PF. I also go to a number of Disney websites, but I guess that's not relevant here. :)
