There's No Place Like Home

I visited Ben's house last week. I visited Robert's house and Julian house, and found out that they had also visited Ben and he had told them what I said when I had visited earlier.

No, I didn't cash in a bunch of frequent flyer miles and actually visit anyone. I'm referring to the fact that last week, I posted a response in Ben's blog in which I put forth the analogy of the forum as the town meeting, versus the blog as the little one-on-one meetings that people hold in their own houses. Robert indrectly mentioned my analogy in his blog, and Julian directly mentioned it in his blog, too.

One observation that I'd like to add is that, in English anyway, we have an idiom "I live in my email" (or "I live in emacs", "I live in Notes", or maybe "I live in my portal" is what IBM hopes we'll say soon). We also have the concept of a "home page" -- not just for our site, but also for our browser (as signified by the little house icon that returns you to your default page). I've been blogging for a while now, and my browser is still set to my company site as my home page. More often than not, though, lately I've been immediately clicking to my blog as soon as my brower opens. I'm wondering... have you changed your browser's home page so that it points to your blog? I wonder what percentage of bloggers have done so?
