Everyday brings a new Obama bashing headline of made up bullshit on there.

2. I use my local page from NOAA
but I'm in agriculture and live in a rural area - we have a serious thing about the weather:rofl:

3. Wikipedia is great.
Their front page has different featured articles every day, news, and other stuff. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

DU is also a nice choice. :):)

31. Wikiality.com is better.
It's the Truthiness Encyclopedia!

http://www.wikiality.com

You can make your own pages mocking bastards in the news or write your own captions.

Here's the link to the "news" page: http://www.wikiality.com/News

8. DU late breaking news
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 09:53 PM by Ichingcarpenter
which is the best and most breaking news on the web
e-mail and facebooks alerts can be viewed by a widget.

'Discuss' DU is good because you can view videos, editorials, breaking news
and the latest topic on discussions.

I like weather. I like knowing what the weather is like all over the world, where my loved ones are.

It's the illusion of control. And the really cool weather maps.................

19. Hey....... At least its not AOL-
I changed MSN as my homepage back in 2002.
I used to have a Zen site as my homepage for a morning thought.

Start using widgets, facebook, and RSS feeds. Your homepage should really be
your own website or DU.

20. I change pretty often..
I don't use a news or political site anymore. I like to have some other interest of mine as a home page. I use book sites, arts & crafts..stuff like that. Things that I want to explore.

22. I use My DU, DU Lounge, and Yahoo as my three tabs.
Just use DU as your homepage. It's easier to find more news headlines that way.

That or HuffPo--the latter is nice because of the variety of the not-so-serious.

33. Use tabbed browsing. Put each of those on a tab. Use that group of tabs for home page
News and comment with the morning coffee.

28. I made my own. I have links to my most visited sites. It's ugly, crude, and
doesn't verify with W3C, but what the hell.

36. about:blank
Loads up nice and quick :)

I never understood the point of a homepage. I usually open up a bunch of different pages at once, and it's easier and less taxing to have just a blank page rather than six yahoo.com's or something.

Make the switch, you won't regret it :)
