What's yer home page? I'm finally ready to give up on Yahoo! after a long passionless marriage.

Don't really have one, always just restore the session when I restart the browser.

Chrome's new tab page, or Opera's speed dial page.

Same as OR, the new tabs page in Chrome.

Firefox Google, although the computer that I don't use much is set to iGoogle for some news feeds.

iGoogle. I like the news and gmail panels.

Google news so I can see if disaster has struck.

iGoogle

gmail and google calendar. Then...shortly after opening, I ctrl-click brizzly, facebook and flickr.

I think facebook has slowed flickr's traffic lately, and I wish that weren't the case.

Wikipedia. Sometimes I learn something.

One of my own websites

My blog. But I have no idea why.

Mine is Yahoo, mostly because I use the calendar. I also only use Yahoo mail for a couple of specific things and probably would forget to check it if I didn't have it previewing the mail on my home page.

iGoogle most of the time, but I also like Chrome's new tab page.

I tried one of those homepage RSS aggregators for awhile, but lost interest pretty quickly. I realize my "home" page should be a place where I can peek out at the internet in small, comfortable doses -- not something that's like having multiple TV's blaring at me, each one tuned to a different news channel.

Whoa, this question inspired me to get rid of ugly iGoogle and switch to this pretty little thing.

I used about:blank for a long time, but since Safari 4 came out I use Top Sites (both MeFi and MeCha are pinned into two of the slots). Wikipedia is a good one though.

I have a portal on my own website, but mainly I just restore.

posted by Eideteker 12 June | 06:57

I use Firefox and have it open with three tabs: MeFi admin page, Recent Activity and my email.

unsurprising, that my faves thing is cool!

posted by chewatadistance 12 June | 11:51

iGoogle, so I can read my horoscope, check my email and the NYT headlines all at once.

posted by mygothlaundry 12 June | 11:52

Tiles in Chrome. iGoogle in Firefox. MSN in IE8.

JUST KIDDING I DON'T HAVE IE8

posted by desjardins 12 June | 11:56

Hmm, I guess that I do have a hope page. I just hit the little house icon on FF and it sent me to the Firefox Google page.

posted by octothorpe 12 June | 12:57

I change home pages in spastic fashion but Symbaloo is nice. I'm using it now.

You could just roll your own.

None, although for all practical purposes it might as well be mefi.
