You and your Internet Homepage

    I think your (non-work related) homepage can say a lot about the type of person you are.

    I have two:
    - Google (Ireland)
    - Wikipedia

    These reflect my inquisitive nature - I have a major thirst for information about almost anything and am constantly looking up stuff online!

    What does your homepage(s) say about you?

    I use google chrome so my home page is my 9 most visited sites. They are, not in order: Boards, Skysports, PGA tour.com, Paddypower.com, facebook, carzone, RTE, Pistonheads, 365online.

    It says I go on boards a lot, bet on Golf, check latest sport news, have friends spending a year in OZ(facebook) and look at cars I want but cannot afford.

    I always stick with the default homepage. I guess that says I'm too lazy to change it.

    I'm boring, its google for me. I like changing peoples homepage to 1227.com though cos I'm a bastard :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,955 ✭✭✭corkie


    As i have more than one internet enable device and because I change/update/test different OS. I usually just set about:blank as the browser home page.

    I usually open igoogle, popurls, boards.ie when I connect. For those of you interested in what I read/scan through on daily basis visit my site and I have shared some of the content from google share un-filtered.

    I scan through that and bookmark things to explore more later on the same device or on my desktop later.
    I get more feeds as well from the likes of ww.twit.tv etc.
    So if anyone see's me walking around cork(on the buses), with head phones connect to netbook. You now know what I'm probably listening too.

    As I have my own Social Networking Platform on my domain, I store my private and public bookmarks here and not on my devices.

    Do you think Corkie is utilizing "Cloud Computing" here??????? :confused:

    John O Connell.
