What’s a homepage?

February 25, 2008 Link

I’m pretty crazy…I mean I have the URL structure for Wikipedia memorized. But seriously, I can’t think of the last time I used a homepage. I either type in the exact URL or I type a search into the location bar (in Firefox 2+ just make sure there’s a space and it automatically does a Google search). Does anyone actually set a homepage? What do you do?

I use Google IG as my homepage.. it’s got my various little news modules in it and I usually fire up a new tab to search for something so it’s a good fit.

I tried that for a while but my problem was everything I added to it I read on whatever site it was from anyways. I’m forcing myself to try Google Reader for a couple weeks. It’s not a homepage but maybe it’ll become my starting point.

I check my feeds in google reader like 20 times a day, so i guess this qualifies it as my “homepage” ;-)
