Here are Mark's first five...

"The sites I visit most are web services: an online document editor, an email group manger, a site that gives subway directions, and a social network. I frequently go to my own website to update it or look up a title or a date. I also click on links I find in emails and social networks: artist's sites, blogs, videos, etc."

"I often find web sites via a search engine, and frequently those searches lead me to Wikipedia."

"More and more I use apps on my phone and tablet to read and look things up. The only site I visit regularly just to see what's there is Rhizome."

"My very favorite art blog is Vvork."

"The sites I don't visit as often as I'd like are Triple Canopy, Hyperallergic, Brooklyn Based, Studio Visit, and We Make Money Not Art."
