Quick! Change your homepage to Fav4.org!

Up until last week, I've used Google as my homepage for several years. Sure, I know that most browsers have a Google search bar on the top-right of the toolbar, but I never got around to using it. I've finally changed things up a bit, and I'm now using Fav4.org as my homepage.

Fav4.org lets you set up four simple website links from the dozens of icons they have available. You can see my configuration above. At first I didn't like this new setup, until I found one trick that isn't mentioned on the site at all: they map these four links to the "ASDF" keys. In other words, I can open up my browser and press the letter "A" to go to Google, or "S" to go to Facebook, etc. Since I already surf with my left hand on the home row (thanks, typing class in 1995!), this is a very natural way for me to browse. Try it out!

Fav4.org looks nice all right. But in practice I think it is to simple. Four links - you might as well make have them as link buttons on your bookmark toolbar. I like zenstart - it has a Google search box and the top 150 links:
