I follow the USGS "Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days" page.
It takes some minutes after a quake before the quake is listed. 

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php

The 10-degree MAP shows recent activity within one week, so you can 
easily tell if a spot is getting pounded.  For example: 

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/145_40.php

The detailed maps and charts area includes a page where you can report
if 
you felt the quake or not.  For example: 

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usb0008gs0.php

I find the Historical Seismicity maps rather interesting as well.
