My Internet Surfing Routines and Trends. So Nonlinear. So Crazy.
We all have our own daily Internet surfing routines and trends.
We all start at a specific homepage. Maybe its My Yahoo or ESPN or NY Times homepage (mine for the past four years). Feel free to share your current homepage in the comments.
From there you either follow a tried and true path or let all hell break loose and start following link after link and open tab after tab.
Sometimes you hop on and off, quick-like. Get what you need and go.
Sometimes you get sucked into a crazy, nonlinear rollercoaster ride of data, news, videos, images and articles all interconnected in a gob of ones, zeroes, wires and tubes.
About six months ago, I started to find that my routine loop of sites was getting too big. And, too impractical to travel in a reasonable amount of time.
That's when I started using a feed reader. Instead of manually going to tons of routine sites I pull their content to one page, my feed reader.
My weapon of choice being Google Reader.

Note: I still visit plenty of sites that don't fit well into the feed reader format like large news sites, sports sites, like ESPN, and other misc sites and blogs that I visit from my bookmarks occasionally.
Here are my top 40 feed-reading trends for the last 30 days:


Hopefully, this gives you a good feel for the feeds I digest on a daily basis.
Feel free to make fun of any of my subscriptions or leave links to your own feed-reading trends in the comments. If you use Google Reader, you can view your Trends page here.
