I have 3 sites that load up when I start FireFox: Google's Gmail service, the Blogger dashboard and National Geographic's main web site. The first one is, obviously to see my mail, the second, because it keeps me doing this and the third because it connects me to the real world.
Nat Geo's home site has so many great features that sometimes one contracts "choice blindness" a web malady in which the user is faced with so many selections to explore that they mentally recoil from the challenge. Never fear, beyond the gorgeous photos of river valleys and frolicking endangered animals, the News section of the site contains a ton of amazing blogs.
