I always check both local and world news (CNN, etc) first before anything else when I go online, unless I never get a chance to get to the Net until the evening. If this is the case, the first thing i will check online is my yahoo and gmail email accounts.. nothing exciting really . How bout you?
check my email gmail first then yahoo mail, then my adsense... dp is i think on the 5th or 6th on my list...
Home Page is Google.com but the first site I open is http://forums.digitalpoint.com and after that Gmail.com
When I boot my computer, I start both Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time. - The sites I visit first, is normaly a custom made site I have, showing me latest updates on all my sites, including earnings, simple stats, quicklinks, quick moderation etc. - Then I head to the Google reader, to see what's up today. - Then I visit my daily boards, and posts a little. - Facebook This actually takes up alot of my time, but I feel it's worth it. I keep intouch with my real friends, and trought blogs and boards webmaster related friends, I learn new stuff and I keep up with time :]
K well I am a total loser cause the first thing I check is Facebook..... My stats, RSS feeds and emails all come after that.
I hit Gmail and then I visit my own sites. News can wait, I'm too interested in seeing how my sites are doing to bother with anything else.
