URL ABC

Inspired by maxvoltar.com:

A simple game: Go to the address bar in your favorite browser, and type one letter. Start with “a”, end with “z”.

Here’s my list along with a brief explanation of some of the more obscure sites that some of you may not be familiar with:

• A: aboutthismac.com Apple news/support site I maintain.
• B: blog.yastech.ca/
• C: campaign.yastech.ca/ Email newsletter site.
• D: delicious.com/ URL Boomarking site.
• E: emberapp.com/ Screenshot sharing site.
• F: facebook.com/ ?? What? Why is this on there? I never go on Facebook! It’s for work. NO wait. Uhm.
• G: google.com
• H: html-ipsum.com/ Dummy text for HTML coding.
• I: Our YasTech testing site (not the actual link for security reasons)
• J: j.mp URL shortener.
• K: kuler.adobe.com For figuring out nice color schemes.
• L: lemonproductions.freshbooks.com/ Invoicing site.
• M: mennoboy.com/
• N: newegg.ca ?? Apparently I went shopping once.
• O: om.ly/ ??
• P: panel.dreamhost.com/ Maintaining my army of websites.
• Q: quiziz4u.info/ ?? I honestly have no idea.
• R: reasonsiamanerd.tumblr.com/ Site I threatened my wife I’d start. Sitting mostly empty right now.

• X: xbox360.com
• Y: Our YasTech basecamp site (not the actual link for security reasons)
• Z: zooropa.chrisenns.com/ My curated list of twitter favorites.

Obviously some letters get hit more often than others. I don’t think I use a lot of websites that begin with “Q”, “N” or “O” as I don’t ever remember actually going to those sites.
