What's your daily internet routine? What are the first sites you open when you get on the computer? What sites do you check regularly?


For me the first thing I open is MSN messenger to check for new emails. Then I open my Hotmail in a new window, facebook in the same window. And I open A-U in Firefox. These are the sites I'm always logged into when I'm online and check regularly throughout the day. Also, depending on the level of procrastination I check a couple of news sites, blogs and the weather! :P

Facebook > MSN for e-mails > A-U+Braveboard+LHC... I think that's generally it before I go about doing random other stuff.

AOL is my homepage, and that's where I go first for email checking. Next is Deviantart, and then Facebook is my next stop, and then AU for a quick scroll down the forum and if I have time a closer snoop around. Then last but not least, youtube. And I tend to rotate between those sites to keep up with messages and stuff.

I start with Gmail and check all that stuff, then open Facebook, AU, Livejournal, LotC, and Youtube pretty much simultaneously and check for new stuffs. Usually quick browsing, with new tabs if there's something I want to look at closer. I love tabs.

The first thing I check is my Gmail, then I usually check my website for comments or messages, check the one other forum I mod, check the various sites I use for my site's stats and downloads, check my Deviantart, and then random things. I also usually have iTunes playing and probably Photoshop open.

It's changed :p

The order now if I'm mucking around on the internet rather than working is:
News websites and the weather
The vegetarian and vegan forum I'm on
The 3 pagan forums I'm on
Here and some other LotR forums
Goodreads


Never bother checking my email on my laptop anymore.. It all goes to my phone
