Following in the footsteps of Tim Van Damme I thought I’d play along with a little game that’s making the rounds. URL ABC, as Tim puts it:
A simple game: Go to the address bar in your favorite browser, and type one letter. Start with “a”, end with “z”.

Pretty interesting as a couple of sites (BBC and Facebook) turn up twice, but I suppose that’s to be expected when you’re addicted to streams of data.
Your turn!

A pretty boring mix, eh.
Jose Burgos jr.
I think YouTube has monopolized Y. I haven’t seen a different one lol. Nice list btw!
Rob Hawkes
Thanks for the list Luke, it looks like no one has anything interesting for Z. Hardly surprising I suppose.

I love FF and its ~smart address bar.
Rob Hawkes
You have some funky URLs going on there Rachael. I understand the whole smart address bar bit but how did you get tinypic from the letter ‘v’? You’ve definitely got an F1 addiction going on, but I suppose that’s understandable. =p
