I surf the Internet at limitless speed—flying from one page to the next, with an attention span of less than a second. I probably surf through a couple of thousand pages a day. And this got me thinking: What is the first website that I constantly pull up when I turn on my computer in the morning?

I know my answer is going to sound like a cliché, but Google is my starting point. I really have no direction; I let news find me through Twitter and blogs—completely different from 3 years ago when the New York Times was my homepage.

I asked my peers the same question:

What’s the first website you pull up when you turn on your computer? Why?

Mary Elise | Account Manager

It’s between these three:
Ted.com for inspiration and interesting discussions.
Inc.com for latest business news and innovative start-up ideas.
Deviantart.com for visual stimulation and creative inspiration.

I’ve lived in San Francisco and currently live  in New York City–two of America’s  foodiest cities. “Live to eat, not eat to live” is a slogan I hold dear and in combination with the Food & Wine Festival that is coming up got me thinking, I’m really obsessed with food–okonomiyaki, Burmese curry, Pork Buns (chasu bao), and of course bean-curd Pad See Yu (and YES, I am trying to get you hungry!). So I asked my colleagues:

What’s your favorite cuisine?

Alhan | Director of Marketing

Turkish. It’s one of the most diverse in the world. It’s spicy, and healthy – in moderation. One of my favorite dishes – it’s not very original, sorry – is Adana Kebab.
