Upon sitting down at my fav cafe, I found myself opening my browser (Firefox 2), clicking Applekey-T three times (to create three more tabs), and clicking on the following bookmarks to load pages:
- Google AdSense — checking my vast revenue from yesterday
- Google News
- Google AdWords — see how my ads fared yesterday
- Gmail
In that order.
And it struck me
Not only am I visiting four Google properties, I’m visiting them first, before any other pages on the Web (which is rumored to have tens of thousands of pages).
It’s a sign either of Google’s incredible domination of the Web, or of my predilection for the company’s services. Or both.
Am I putting too many eggs in one basket? What do you think?

“Am I putting too many eggs in one basket?”
Yes, according to Bill Gates.

I use Google so much I’ve killed the “g” on my old keyboard. Seriously. Normally I wear out the space bar, left command key, left shift key, period, a, s , x, c, and v, but never g. Seriously. The “g” key on my macally iceKEY is dead.

Why wouldn’t you just put all 4 URLs in a folder and click “open all in tabs”? Would save you maybe 3, 4 minutes over the course of a month.
Or is that just a FireFox thing? Haven’t used Safari in a while.

You can speed up your Google worshipping by setting Firefox’s homepage to all of those Google pages each in their own tab.
