Where's the first place you go online?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 03, 2007:
I never close my Firefox browswer. Ever. I only restart it when it's getting a little wonky. I generally leave three browser tabs open: GMail, Twitter, and my Falling Fruit GCal. Nowadays, I'm leaving a fourth tab open, my Zaadz page:) I'm finally diving back into the online social world, now that Falling Fruit has finally launched, after about six months of going dark.
GMail and GCal are obvious tabs to keep open: they keep connected and organized. Without them I don't survive.
Twitter is perhaps my favorite way to informally keep in touch with my friends lives. I've written a post on why I think it's useful.
Zaadz is hands down my number one social portal. The people are what's most important to me, and Zaadz user interface and features just keeps getting better and better.
Really, there's another internet portal I use first thing in the morning: Net News Wire. I use the desktop version and this is how I keep in touch with all my blog subscriptions and news feeds.
Pretty much, those comprise my arsenal of basic websites I use, though I have tons more that I use on a regular basis, but I'll save those for another geeky day:)

I use My Yahoo as my home page. I have a number of RSS feeds which bring me the content that I find valuable to be exposed to. One of the feeds I subsribe to are the blogs from my Zaadz friends. I found this blog through a link on My Yahoo. I've also subscribed to the Falling Fruit feeds. One thing I apprecaite about these feeds is the ability to download the MP3 file directly from the link. I find this easier than using a podcast application.
