New meme!

[taimatsu]

Well, independently evolved meme, anyway. Maybe someone else already thought of it.
(Slight edit made as to where this should be posted...)

Many web-browsers, including Firefox and IE, pop up a list of websites you have previously visited when you enter characters into the address field.

Enter the letters of the alphabet individually in order (ie. a, (delete), b, (delete), etc.) and post in your own journal the top site for each letter. If the site is not worksafe or otherwise inappropriate, you may enter 'inappropriate' or similar text by the letter. If there are no entries, state that. Give your friends an insight into your browsing habits.

Of course, whether it shows recently-visited sites or frequently-visited sites is up to your browser - if you know or can work out this information, you can include it or not, as you will. Ditto for any other comments on your list.

Here's my answer for today:

A depressingly large proportion of these are work-related... and I still can't work out how it chooses them! (FF 1.04, if anyone else knows.)

Unprintable?

[imc.livejournal.com]

I typed a big list in here, but then I decided to post it in my journal instead. :-)

[taimatsu]

Thank you :) I have now edited my post to make that clearer...

[taimatsu]

You don't want to know. Honestly.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it.

[(Anonymous)]

I know what it is. You don't have to be embarrassed about it, you know.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

I was going to do this when I got home, but I was quite shocked to discover about a quarter of them fell quite firmly into the [inappropriate] category, so I decided not to.
