Yes that's right, your homepage.
Is it just the default?
Google?
or some specific site that's compulsory to you to visit every day or when you do click your big blue E or your fox.

So for me it's DeviantART, Escapist and Google Image Swirl.

I'm sure you know what the first two are but if you don't know the third it's simple an image search where it makes it slightly easier to hunt down an image that you're looking for.
Heres the link:

My homepage is The Escapist. I spend that much time here.

3)   1 Dec 2009 21:49

My startup page is the Mozilla/Google default page.

4)   1 Dec 2009 21:50

Oh. To be honest, I clicked on here to find out what you meant by 'thingy majiggy'. It is an awesome phrase.

Also, my homepage is Google Pirate. Oh yeah.

5)   1 Dec 2009 21:51

Google.
As for what i visit daily: webcomics, The Escapist, OurKwonho.

6)   1 Dec 2009 21:51

That would be my Gmail account.

7)   1 Dec 2009 21:52

PCSpecialist.co.uk

They're the guys who built my laptop, and that was my IE homepage, and I just imported it when I instantly installed Firefox

8)   1 Dec 2009 21:53

Start page is apple's startpage aka the default on a mac with safari.

9)   1 Dec 2009 21:55

My 8 most visited sites.
Or Google Chrome default page.

10)   1 Dec 2009 21:55

Gmail, mostly because I forget to check my e-mail often >.>

11)   1 Dec 2009 21:55

Www.Google.Com

Not many have heard of it.

12)   1 Dec 2009 21:57

Google.
Mainly because it loads super fast.
And it's just so freaking handy.

13)   1 Dec 2009 22:01

Google, because I'm too lazy to change from the Firefox standard startup page.
And because I check so many different pages daily, or at least very often, that there wouldn't be any real point to setting just ONE of them as startup.
(Escapist, my mail, RPGclassics Agora, 40+ webcomics, and so on...)

never got around to changing it
and it's google, anyway

15)   1 Dec 2009 22:04

My thingamagiggy/hosamabob, my whatchamacallit homepage is mozilla/google, why? Because (as I gathered) each search you do on it gets Firefox advertising bonus (if I'm wrong then I dunno about it) and I'd like to support Mozilla since they're by far better than IE.

16)   1 Dec 2009 22:10

Mines the mozilla-google default thing. Simply because it is the most usefull to me.

17)   1 Dec 2009 22:14

The Dead Workers Party forums and Youtube.

18)   1 Dec 2009 22:14

MSN.Com. Mainly in case I need to reactivate my Messenger, but I have the Escapist bookmarked at the top so I can go to my Profile with one button push.

19)   1 Dec 2009 22:48

Mine is a blank page. I refuse the notion having a homepage.
Everything I go on is in my bookmarks toolbar on my firefox anyway.

20)   1 Dec 2009 22:49

MSN, because I'm too lazy to change it.

I'm a web developer and I'm all for supporting a browser that's been nothing but a pleasure vs IE which is a nightmare to develop for because it's always got conflicting problems.

26)   1 Dec 2009 23:07

The BBC News page.

27)   1 Dec 2009 23:12

Google, because everytime I change it, it mysteriously changes back the next day. So I've stopped caring.

As for my most visited sites: YouTube, deviantArt, the Escapist, Facebook and my friend's forum.

28)   1 Dec 2009 23:13

The Apple Homepage

29)   1 Dec 2009 23:13

Gmail, because I will never go on it otherwise.

I have no idea why I haven't made the Escapist there - probably due to my fear of my computer crashing due to suicide.

30)   1 Dec 2009 23:14

mines to my world of warcraft character's armoury that way i know that i quit the game for stupid reasons and really should start playing again, yet i still dont...

31)   1 Dec 2009 23:16

Yahoo, because I can't be bothered to change it.

But it glosses over the more interesting news stories of the day.

32)   1 Dec 2009 23:20

Firefox Fast Dial, with The Escapist, Facebook, Bungie.net, GamesRadar, Google, Explosm.net, XKCD, Cracked and TV Tropes as my 9 quick options.

33)   1 Dec 2009 23:20

Goog-damn, ninja'd in so many ways.

Always knew IE was a bitch but I never knew it was the same way on the developers side of the net.
So got any sites you made up n running? :)
