Browser Business: I’ll Get the Tab
Stop.
What tabs are open on your browser right now?
You are not allowed to close or omit any.
Be honest. I want to know where you’ve been, or where you will go when you get time.
Any time I’m working on my computer (which is everyday – all day), I find articles, posts or websites that I want to explore further. I create a fresh tab for each find, and then they sit there until the end of a day, or a weekend sometimes, when I have time to check them out.
So, in an intentional effort to navel gaze, I thought I would dedicate this post to reveal what’s in my tab collection today. Think of it as taking an overstuffed drawer, dumping everything out, and looking to see if there is anything interesting worth keeping.
Tab #1 – BBC: SuperPower Channel. Exploring the power of the web. http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specialreports/superpower.shtml
