I rarely visit sites in any particular order as I've consolidated all of my favourites into RSS feeds which I view using Google Reader. I'll then randomly visit sites with headlines or articles that grab my attention.

hmm, i think the list should be like that :

gamespot.com/x360
infinitemac.com
website of my university
xboxlive.com

and i think that`s all...i sometimes read news on msn.
Oh, and there`s no order on that list. so there`s no more and less important site :)

BTW. Why all people are so obsessed with google ? This search engine isn`t so good...you get 500k hits, while only 3-4 sites are related to keyword...google has too much trash, that`s what i think.

When you get to the point where InfiniteMac is another Utility in your back pocket for your personal Hacintosh, then ya just can't help but show love... then again, there are also those of us that like to help make it this kind of Utility. :cool:

I don't think that there will be a regular order for web sites every day. I could imagine that these lists could only be the most often visited web sites. If you have more web sites which you want to watch every time, enter all your favourites as the default page. At least Flock and Firefox support this by dividing multiple sites with a | symbol, they'll be opened in multiple tabs.

In my case my Apple Mail decides which page is opened first - if there are forum notification mails available, they will open the default browser. Otherwise infinitemac is the homepage in my browsers. The first two pages I might open manually is ebay if I have auctions to watch, or Yahoo! if I have to search for something. No, I won't tell you about all these XxX sites I always visit next, the amount will crash the server's storage capability and the FBI will need more employees :cool:

Has nobody some web based email account he's regularly using, something like this wasn't listed yet.

OT: Had someone ever running Win XP SP3 on an AMD K6 with 384 MB RAM??? The company I'm actually working (HAVE TO work, grr) uses crappy machines like this... To make it a bit better, all computers are also showing 'Your copy of Windows may be stolen...'
