How I Surf the Web

When I read articles online, I use Readability
When I want to buy a gadget, my path is Pogue –> Engadget –> Google
I tried Glue but got freaked out and disabled it
I checkin with Foursquare religiously, though I don’t yet know why
When I want to waste time, I either watch Lost or The Daily Show on Hulu
When I want to be inspired I either watch Macworld 2007 or various TED Talks
My homepage on Firefox and Safari is Google, despite the fact that it’s also my default search
I always use Trim for my short URLs, because I like to support the little guy
I go to CNN first, even though they’ve become a tabloid, then NYTimes when I want real news
I forget which browser has which bookmarks, and yet I’m too nervous to cede power to Google
I Tweet to impress my future employer, yet feel it’s my duty to advise businesses in UX
I consider myself an early adopter, yet I’ve never used an RSS reader and this is my first blog
I discover music on Pandora, find songs on YouTube, and buy albums on iTunes

and that’s how i surf the web
