@Erika thanks for the nice comments. Yeh I think most people currently start off at a search engine but only cause it is easier to click the home page button so they can search.

Great post, very interesting! Personally, I start off on the Mozilla Google Search Engine, but only stay there for about 15-30 seconds. You should do a poll to find out what amount of people use which start up pages! That would be very interesting!

Been using iGoogle since it was just called Google.com/ig – and while I hate the new layout, I’m just so used to using it I can’t see going back. I tried Netvibes maybe two years ago, it kept dropping RSS feeds, so I stopped. I still visit PopURLs now and again just to get a quick glance at what’s going on over the interwebs.

@tm thanks for the clarification. It does have a good search section, but that isnt what it is really known for. But thanks for clarification on not just being tech focused.

addendum: popurls has a dedicated search at search.popurls.com , too. also, it’s not entirely tech-focused, 60% are generic sources.
