my web alphabet
I'm bored at work. Decisions are being made, and until they are, I don't have any projects to work on.
So I started thinking about my surfing habits, and the sites that I go to on a regular basis, and I came up with the idea to compile a personal "web alphabet" of sorts. That is, one site per letter of the alphabet, according to what FireFox tells me I've visited most often.
So I opened a browser window and put in each letter of the alphabet, one at a time, and took the URL that came up for that letter. This yielded some interesting results, as some letters had a lot of popular sites, leaving popular sites like Straight Dope, Something Awful and Screenhead out of my list. Less popular letters gave me some pretty weird sites that maybe I only visited once or twice.
Anyway, this is kind of a neat activity to do, and if nothing else, lists some interesting sites to check out. I'd be curious to see if anybody else does this.
