Poll: What’s Your Browser Startpage?

On virtually all web browsers (modern browsers, anyway), you can set a particular page (or pages if you have a tab-equipped browser) to automatically open when you launch the browser.

What page you choose is obviously up to you, and it’s generally a choice made depending on browsing habits.

That brings us to the question: What site do you use for your browser start page? Take a moment to vote in the poll (you’ll have to click through if you’re reading this in an RSS aggregator).

What do you use as your browser start page?

  • Google (40%, 20 Votes)
  • Netvibes, iGoogle, or other custom portal (20%, 10 Votes)
  • Other (20%, 10 Votes)
  • about:blank (16%, 8 Votes)
  • A custom HTML file (6%, 3 Votes)
  • Yahoo/AOL (2%, 1 Votes)
  • My blog (2%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 50

Are you a Googlemaniac or do you prefer About:Blank? Or do you prefer to load up Netvibes or Pageflakes with RSS feeds and Twitter streams?

    My blog, Todoist, Google Reader and Digg.I read Digg first, then Google Reader. Once I close each of those tabs, I try not to open them again until the next day. It usually works. :)

    I can’t say I’m quite that organized. I use my “NTugo Webtop” page as my homepage. It has links to email login pages, a quick heads-up of some feeds, etc. It’s badly in need of updating though (just doesn’t do what I need it to do anymore). I pretty much do this every day:

    1. Load Firefox and Twhirl.
    2. Check email.
    3. Read backlog of tweets.
    4. Read RSS (which includes Digg/Technology subscription).
    5. Write post on Webmaster-Source.
    6. Do other assorted things that vary from day-to-day.

    Google.com/ig, within that I have a lot of content pulled in through feeds to compensate for opening dozens of tabs :).
