Alphabet Internet

Mozilla’s Firefox address bar completion feature will provide for you the most common and recent websites visited (versus I.E. which gives you the recent addresses in alphabetical order only). So I’ve comprised a list of those websites that I go to regularly for each letter of the alphabet. If you see a dash ‘–‘ that means that either no websites came up or random one time websites came up that I didn’t think should count.

Example, for K the only result I got was Katronic.com and I don’t have any recollection of ever going here. So it’s not worth it to put it on my best of the best list.

Applegeeks.com
Bodybuilding.com
Cnn.com
Defectiveyeti.com
Expedia.com
Freakanomics.com
Google.com
Homedepot.com
Itsthepope.com
Jonabad.com
K —
L —
Mikedidonato.com
Nwa.com
O —
Penny-arcade.com
Questionablecontent.net
Rockclimbing.com
Setgame.com
Tdameritrade.com
U —
Vimeo.com
Weather.com
X —
Youtube.com
Zanorg.com

If you’re feeling motivated, post your Firefox internet alphabet in the comments.

    What! You visit the New York Times more than you visit Bike Nashbar? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!! They brand the singlespeed disc freehub that On-One designed for PlanetX (also branded by Woodman and various others) for … $35 WHAT!!

    Nashbar is trash, I don’t shop there often. But that is the best deal on a SS cassette rear hub.

    I love Nashbar! I always use Nashbar pedals on my trials bikes. They are like $12 if you catch them on sale, and the pins fall out just as fast as any other more expensive platform pedal. Oh, and there is a $15 Nashbar stem on my stock trials/street bike (which also has aforementioned ss hub). Then again, I did snap the spindle on a Nashbar bottom bracket clean in half on that same bike so maybe you have a point there…

    I should note that this list is from my work computer which will vary significantly from my home computer. If I remember I’ll do it at home too, but things like a & n would probably be different (apple.com or aspensnowmass.com and netflix.com instead).

    Additionally, some of the top sites are really part of other sites, but my bookmarks take me directly rather than through the top level URL (for example: wsj.com would probably be the w winner but it appears at o; similarly gmail.com would probably be the g winner but it appears ahead of mikedidonato.com under m (the horror!)).

    Further, since most of the things I read go through the Google Reader, sites like this one don’t typically appear. Freakonomics.com made me think of this issue, since I read it but rarely visit the Web site. Strangely, reader.google.com is not tops in r.
