After reading this post from Andy Clark’s blog, I decided to give it a shot; type in every letter in my browser address bar and write down the first result. Here are my results:
A – http://www.apple.com/ B – http://www.bbcode.org/reference.php C – http://www.chromeextensions.org/ D – http://www.danawoodman.com/ (yay, thats me!) E – http://en.gravatar.com/ F – http://www.facebook.com/ G – http://www.google.com/analytics/ H – http://www.danawoodman.com/ (again!?) I – http://www.iconfinder.net/ J – ttp://www.javascriptcompressor.com/ K – http://www.kayak.com/ L – http://localhost:8000/ (Django’s home on my computer) M – http://www.mcshanesnursery.com/ N – http://www.nathanborror.com/ O – http://www.organixcms.com/ P – http://www.panel.webfaction.com/ Q – http://www.qinsb.blogspot.com/ R – http://www.robotson.com/ S – http://www.simplebits.com/ T – http://www.twitter.com/ U – http://utidylib.berlios.de/ V – http://www.vimeo.com/ W – http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ X – http://www.xp-dev.com/ Y – http://www.youtube.com/ Z – http://www.zillow.com/
This was actually an interesting experiment (game?). I ended up getting a mixed set of results including services or sites I frequent combined with pages I don’t even remember visiting.
Another enjoyable waste of time, try it out!
