Poll question: when logging online, is DU the first website you visit?

[IronLionZion]

1. Google is my homepage

but I usually come here if I don't have to google anything

[tjdee]

2. It's not my homepage because I like to appear independent.

Sure, I can get online without going to DU.

Yes I can.

I can, I tell you!

:cry:

3. Honestly it is lol .

Its not my homepage , but its the first website that I go to and I leave the tab open for as long as I am on my computer , hitting F5 or refresh every 5 minutes .

[pres2032]

4. hah, so do i!

I always keep a page open to DU as long as i'm on the computer. sad, isn't it?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

6. LOL I thought I was the only one lol .

Its ALWAYS the first that I check into before I go to work in the mornings . Sometimes I am getting dressed or sitting with Nozema on my face reading posts on the DU lol .

7. haha, yup, that's me too

i'm on a network, so i'm always online and usually when i wake up, DU is the very first thing i look at, unless i'm expecting an e-mail.

8. I have cable internet and whenever I have an outage ...

I always get sad because I think about all the threads that I might miss while my cable internet line is out LOL - Now that is sad :)

10. hah, yeah, i get that way when the network it down

i'm totally lost without internet access. heh, that should bode well when i leave college and the permanent connection i'm so used to.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

11. I pledge to never go back to Dial Up again ...

pathetic but having a constant connection has spoiled me .

[pres2032]

12. that's what i have on my parent's computer

it drives me crazy waiting for it to connect. What's worse, is it doesn't make the usual connection sounds, so i never know if it's going to be successful until it tells me.

5. Other

I go to Yahoo news most emailed.

[MrScorpio]

9. Buzzflash is my homepage

It helps me out to get pissed off at the Bushistas the second I turn on my browser

[tridim]

13. My homepage is Yahoo

with weather, the top news story/photo and TV listings. It stays up for a quick glance and then it's right to the DU 'latest posts' page.

[Penndems]

14. washingtonpost.com is first, followed by CNN.com, Salon.com,

and THEN DU.

[lavenderdiva]

15. I check my e-mail first, but DU is the first website I go to everyday!

does that count??

[Squeegee]

16. I usually check my RSS feeds before going directly to the web

... not actual web pages. The first feed I read would be Slashdot.org , then Ars Technica, then BBC. Once I've gone through my RSS feeds, I launch my browser which has news.google.com as its home page.

[Hand]

17. Nope.

Sluggy Freelance is always the first of the day.

Sluggy!

[Dave Reynolds]

18. I hit Buzzflash first,

then link here.

[Placebo]

19. No.

Yahoo! was my first homepage back in like the...gawd, 90s was it? When I first got the internet ages ago. It's just kind of stuck. Having any other site besides Yahoo! as my homepage just feels weird.

It goes: Yahoo! > Gmail > MacRumors.com > Weather > DU :)

[RedCappedBandit]

20. None of those options

The only sites I frequently search are message forums. Using Firefox, I am able to open every forum I like at the same time with one window open.. so thats what I do. :thumbsup:

[Huckebein the Raven]

21. It's split between

DU and Whatreallyhappened.com as the two sites I visit first.

[Lady Effingbroke]

22. I really don't know. I have the Lobby, LBN, Editorials, GD, GDP, and the

Lounge bookmarked in a group of tabs which open everytime I fire up Firefox. Does that count?
