    When you fire up the internet, what is your homepage? Are you guys just sports all the time, business, what? Mine is ESPN/NBA.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My Yahoo, as a portal page. I started using in the mid-90s and have never bothered to change it. It works pretty well for a sports scoreboard, weather, movie listings, headlines, etc.

    I don't have a homepage set.

    My web browser opens to a blank page.

    I don't want to give any website any free hits so to speak.

    I start up on blank pages for most of the browsers I use. I think I've got IE on my Windows machine at home (which I rarely use) still set to MSN.com or whatever the default is.

    I rarely close all browsers, so it's not terribly relevant. But Google is my home.

    I'd say my most visited site on the internet (a much more relevant question, IMO) is Reddit.com. If there's a lockout, I see it sucking up even more time that I used to spend here.

    Not that I'm trying to spur an exodus, but there is a Blazer subcommunity over there: http://www.reddit.com/r/ripcity/

    If I were running any kind of bulletin board community, I'd be very, very scared of Reddit. It's just a much more sophisticated way to view user-generated content, and it has the one-stop-shopping appeal of Amazon. I can follow specific communities I choose ranging from Atheism to Blazers to Technology to Dieting to Boise all in one place, and see the most interesting (highly voted) topics from each of those communities on a single page. IMO, in the long run it's going to be very tough for a place like SportsTwo to compete with that.

    Hah. I'm not. I've never actually even posted in the Blazers section. (It's actually kind of dead.)

    As for who is the real HCP of Reddit? lol. I'd say at any time there are about 10 million posters auditioning. But they imatatin'.
