Want to learn something about yourself? Go up to address bar and type in the letter A and see what site autocompletes. Then do it for B, C, etc. After 26 letters, you’ll have a list like the one below, telling you something about what type of sites you frequent. Here’s an example:
Bloglines wins! My addiction.
The list below comes from my work computer. What does it say about me? I’ll leave that up to you to decide.
- a: Amazon
- b: Bloglines
- c: Comedy Central (Daily Show)
- d: Digg
- e: en.wikipedia.org
- f: Flickr
- g: Google
- h: Haystack In A Needle
- i: Inman Stories
- j: jeremy.zawodny.com
- k: KBCafe
- l: LA Times
- m: My.Yahoo.Com
- n: NY Times
- o: O’Franken Factor
- p: Performancing

- r: Res.NWA.Com

I noticed that my Treo phone’s autocomplete list is significantly different. I don’t use retail or photo sites on my phone unless I count Froogle for the occasional price check. I do check blogs through mobile bloglines. And I use Dodgeball.com rather than Digg as my most popular D.
Give it a try. What did you learn about yourself? What did you learn about me?
