    In the beginning there was Yahoo, the ubiquitous homepage of choice for millions of Web users in the late 90s. Coming from an era when Web portals were hot properties and ISPs nearly forced you to use their own, many continue to devoutly rely on Yahoo as their start page to see what's new on the Internet and the world.

    My browsers on my 24 nodes network here all use my IIS 7 Web Server. The intranet site has TechSpot as one of the many links but this is no.1 site! I use Google Chrome for Browsing and Google for Search Engine.

    Weather Underground, which has been my startup page for many years. A quick check of the radar is always a good thing.

    I have 5 tabbed homepages. 1- Gmail, 2- Techspot (Best tech blog/forum I've found to date), 3- Youtube (purely for my amusement), 4- PINAC (Carlosmiller.com - a great 1st amendment blog), 5- Twitter (For news headlines mainly).

    Well i've been umm 'bored and lazy (at the same time) enough' to create my own home page carrying links of sites I usually regularly visit. Never ever I used any of those stupid home pages like boogle or ging ;)

    https://www.google.com

    Because I'm paranoid. Even though they record everything and after 9 months I become "anonymous" when they remove the last IP octet.

    Blank page (simply because browsers show the home page on every open window instead of just on start), but I always have iGoogle and Gmail open.

    For all my browsers www.google.com is the homepage tho... (And has been for as long as I can remember)
