How often do you visit the homepage of your favorite useful websites?

Never on sites like google but daily to sites like Fluther. It depends on the site.

Everyday being that it’s Fluther.

All the sites that are essentially search engines (Wikipedia, Google, Speckly, etc) I tend to search via Chromiums address bar.

Gmail I’ll visit sometimes but I usually use Thunderbird for checking e-mail (although I’m looking for a less-bloated replacement) as I have more than one account to check.

Facebook I visit maybe once a day and I’m considering just removing my profile altogether. Sorry, just realised you said useful.

There aren’t many other sites I frequently use, but when I do I usually access them via their “homepages”.

I go to about 25–30 sites on a regular basis, and most often through the homepage. I use the Firefox add-on “Speed DIal” which enables me to have 9 book marked pages show in 1 browser tab. This one page of 9 book marks is called a “group”, so in order to quickly access the 30+ sites I have 4 preset groups.

Speed Dial

I use my local news stations homepage daily.

I go there/use it all the time.

Hotsheet.com

It is everything.

I use iGoogle, so it feeds me updates on many sites all at once. If I see an interesting article, I go directly to the article. So, I guess a lot of sites I don’t go to the homepage.
