Mine is freeserve, but only because my modem installation software changed it to that (sneaky trick :x ), and I can't be bothered to change it back to MSN......

My homepage is Yahoo UK as I am a news junkie, then I generally open a tab for WP and another to check regular bookmarks (Yahoo mail, earth and moon viewer and wikipedia, heh)

rant mode on:
No Melvis i use bookmarks to go to websites depends on my mood were i go first. I do not feel the need for and think the idea of a home page has out lived it's usefulness. I rarely use IE and was doing a scan with adaware and it said about:blank was a hack so i said ok nuke it guess what bloody MSN got made the defaut home page in IE :evil: it's hard coded on the deep level of the ops sys and ms says it not a monoploy grrh. Even mozilla when first installed has a homepage but does not mind if you have it set to about:blank
it's a lame metafor like you can get lost online and need a "home" heeh so silly
End rant mode

I can be quite impatient and have very 'routine' behaviour when I first go online so it makes sense to me to have a set page when starting the internet.
I thought the metaphor was that home was the place you spent most time, rather than it being there is case you get lost- cos think about it how would you find you way home if you were lost and before you say it I know you can simply click a button online to do that- but that makes the metaphor kinda flawed in my opinion.
You also seem to assume that I use IE- and I don't.


Mel (who can't quite believe that anyone would be so bothered about this they would feel the need to rant).

You didn't have a personal blog option!

And since I don't use webemail AT ALL, that would be a silly one to pick. :>

I'm lazy. Or I just don't know any better. I use Firefox's Google page.

Google. More often than not, I am needing to research information or images, so it's easy to have that one-click home link up top.

My home page and my default page are both blank.

I have a button though which opens several tabs in Safari: a rugby league forum, aspieTALK, this one, another rugby site, and my nations game page.
