If you use Firefox, or any other browser that features tabbed browsing, chances are that you keep several tabs open at once, constantly. I started thinking about what my frequently open tabs usually are, and I found that they are usually web tools or news sites. Not blogs, necessarily; I usually close a blog once I’m done reading it. The most often “Always Open” tabs in my browser would probably be:
Gmail is a constant; slashdot and digg, I have a love-hate relationship with. There are times that I hate the posts or comments on those sites, but they tend to also have the news I’m interested in, and to have it very quickly. Del.icio.us/popular is almost a viable replacement for both those pages, as the most interesting slashdot or digg stories also tend to appear there with great regularity. The Google.com/ig page is great because, as I mentioned before, I’ve added my most frequently read blogs and other news sites’ RSS feeds to the page, so I can scan for new posts/stories with ease.
…so, with all these portals to interesting stuff open, you can see why I also have the webolodeon running. Shoot, I’d never get any work done otherwise.
What sites are “always open” in your browser?
