I have a very OCD morning routine. I turn off my alarm clock, flip over the BlackBerry and scroll through my messages, jump out of bed, wake up my computer and open up geeksugar.com.
After that it's a wild cruise around the Internet, but I always end up at my beloved homepage. What's your first go-to site in the morning?

Calvin Klein
Diane von Furstenberg
Flash Lights
Whatpage.org, rotates my favourite mixture of websites or just pages that would be a great way to start my morning. One of them never fails to bring a smile to my face.
After that, it's igoogle, comic strip feeds, news feeds then teamsugar.
1Gmail!
2fitday.com
3I always open up my Google Reader, facebook profile, have my email downloading in the background and then go straight to the sugar feeds first. Usually dearsugar followed by fitsugar.
;p
4Yahoo is set as my homepage but then I go to Sugar, either Geek or Team.
5I usually go to my web mail (Yahoo!) first. Then I go to Geeksugar, Amazon, etc. I do have a routine too -- and it involves almost every website on my Bookmarks.
6BBC to check the news and weather (the latter dictates what I'm going to wear!), then email, then Popsugar!
7I use Firefox's Morning Coffee add-on to open ALL of my morning sites (like Gmail, Google Reader, LJ, Facebook, FitDay, etc).
8gmail login is my homepage =D
9Comcast to read the news and check my mail
10I use Morning Coffee as well, It opens up Apartment Therapy, Unplggd, Geeksugar, and Homesugar for me!
But on Sundays, I have it set to open up all the online circulars for me! Its the best add-on IMO.
11Casasugar*
oops
Its too early in the morning for typing apparently. lol
12Yahoo, Facebook, Fabsugar and Citizensugar then I make my way around all of the other sugars.
13My homepage is Netvibes, so I check all of my RSS feeds/news/weather/sports/email one at a time from that page.
14A private msgboard I've been with for 5 years now, Dlisted, Gmail, and finally (best for last, right?) Geeksugar. After that I look at the sugarfeeds to see if something catches my eye- otherwise I open my email and look at the morning Cheezburgers.
15my gmail is the first everyday!
16I go to Yahoo to check my email, then to teamsugar and then this forum I am a part of. After that I check all my other regulars (myspace, facebook, dooce, etc.)
17First thing is iGoogle and that's predominantly so I check email. Then there's livejournal, google reader (which includes all of my favorite sugar sites - including geek, of course) and flickr. All in no particular order.
18My iGoogle page starts up and I check either gmail or the bizarre news they link from there.
19I check my e-mail accounts on my blackberry when I get up, read The Post on the metro, and once I get to my computer at work I always go, (1) MSNBC (2) MSN (3)CNN (4) PopSugar, (then Fab, Bella, Citizen, Savvy, Fit, Yum, & Geek)(5) Purseblog
20online banking followed by savvy sugar.
21iGoogle. It has my email, calendar, and reader on just one page. It's super, super convenient.
22I totally check on geeksugar first thing in the morning when I get to work. I always check my e-mail on the way to work on my Q.
23gmail!
24#1 iGoogle - to check email, news and reader
#2 Twitter - to see where my friends are and what they're up to
#3 Blip.fm - to start listening to music
25i tab open a bunch of crap: my rss reader, geeksugar, gmail, /., bcc and the kcstar.
26Gmail then geeksugar:) I think I have huge OCD with the internet
27i have a couple tabs going in the morning. i have gmail, my google reader, and last fm.
28gmail and fitsugar and my weightloss weblog and my weightloss support group and one blank page at the same time, i always have more than 12 windows open i open all of the windows at the same time and skim through all of them and logg off after 10 minutes, but if i have emails to answer i stay little longer,
29I "heart" Firefox so several pages open at once for me:
My TeamSugar homepage
A weather page called Foreca.com
Yahoo mail (not logged in, as I use one for work and another for personal)
The login page for the adserver I work with for work.
One of my client's homepages.
Reuters.com
Theindependent.co.uk
All of those await me when I open the browser. I tend to check Sugar first over morning coffee or tea, read the news on both Reuters and The Independent, then dive into work. Working from home is great, but it does mean my computer works doubly hard for a living.
30GMail Baby! Then Geeksugar.
31CNN is my homepage so I check the headlines, local news & weather there while checking Outlook for personal email. Then on to http://creativeinstigation.blogspot.com/ (a daily blog written by a friend), MySugar, and finally work email.
geek, you are not alone in your OCD!
32i open mail, geeksugar/buzzsugar/casasugar (all of them), popcandy, and Livejournal, then my RSS reader
33netvibes!
34Gmail, then CNN.com, then Huffington Post, then Sugar.
And then Sugar gets to stay up all day
35igoogle (my homepage) then I peruse my igoogle tabs the tech one being first were I keep geeksugar rss feed. I like to open a bunch of tabs then read through them.
36ohmylord, I feel like the most loser-y person...the first website I open up is perezhilton.com - don't judge!!
37Then it's my local paper, mcall.com, nydailynews.com, msnbc.com. I have my iGoogle page as my homesite at work, so it's constantly up for me. The first site I look at when I get HOME however, is yumsugar, then pop sugar.
e-mail -> gReader -> twitter, in that order.
38i open up:
, then the
sugars
39craigslist, snagajob, gmail, some sims 2 sites
My iGoogle. Then my Gmail. Then my blog. Then my Teamsugar unreads.
40I check my email on my iPhone first and then check out my google reader which includes most of the team sugar areas.
41my bank acct first,then my email, then sugar and thats pretty much my last stop b/c there is so much to do on this one site!
421. Gmail
432. Google Reader
3. MySugar
4. Facebook
5. The Hype machine
first, I go to yahoo mail, then myspace and facbook and then.. Teamsugar!
45I have a group of bookmarks called "starting pages" and it opens yahoo mail and gmail, (my homepage is my yahoo but I don't read it as much anymore) twitter, xm's program guide, mysugar, facebook, friendfeed, plurk, and my igoogle. I usually head to the email pages first and then just go through the tabs as they fall (usually the ones I'll spend the least amt. of time on first.)
46care2.com
47www.SpotJots.com
48i turn on my messenger, then open the following tabs in my browser - igoogle (google homepage that has my gmail, lots of news, google reader and twitter), yahoo mail, my office mail, and multiply.
