What's the First Website You Open in the Morning?

July 3, 2008

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?

i 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.

I 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.)

<3 firefox because I have several home pages: igoogle, gmail, google calender, google reader, and Facebook. I get my sugars and news through my RSS reader. And, on a related note, Google apparently rules my life =)

I check my email on my iPhone first and then check out my google reader which includes most of the team sugar areas.

My iGoogle. Then my Gmail. Then my blog. Then my Teamsugar unreads.

ohmylord, I feel like the most loser-y person...the first website I open up is perezhilton.com - don't judge!! Then 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. :-)

CNN 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!

I "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. :P
