Daily Browsing

4.22.2008 | Old Posts

Today akamike asked:

how many tabs does the average person (geek) have open on their first/main browse. For some, like me, that’s the morning with a cup of tea/coffee. For others, it’s part of an evening ritual after work.

After some discussion I decided I woud post my answer. I don’t have many tabs open during my morning browse. Rather I use 2 applications. A personal Netvibes home page, and an all-in-one IM app called Digsby.

On Netvibes I use the following widgets:

  • Bookmarks
  • Local Weather
  • 2 Flickr image feeds
  • Box.net web storage
  • Gmail checker
  • Uni PopMail checker
  • Google Calendar
  • Twitter
  • 15+ feeds

On Digsby I use:

  • Windows Live IM
  • Gmail checker
  • Uni PopMail checker
  • Twitter

So, like akamike, I ask my readers: How many tabs (or windows) do you find yourself opening when you do your “main” daily browse?

  • Digg
  • StumbleUpon
  • del.icio.us
  • Reddit
  • Wikio
  • Technorati
  • Pownce
  • E-mail this story to a friend!

Does Netvibes get laggy when you have lots going on? If I could bring most of my tabs into one page and up performance at the same time I would seriously consider using it

Netvibes isn’t the fastest site in the world, but in terms of saving time opening other tabs and using other apps its a lot faster.
