My most visited sites for Wednesday 8th October 2014

I’m currently doing the Web Science online course at FutureLearn.com.  I’m in the first week, and one of the tasks asks us to analyse our recent browser history to find out what sites we visit most frequently.  I often delete my browsing history and cache, so I only have the data for today, but it’s still interesting nevertheless.

So here’s my top 11 most visited sites for today:

  1. edx.org
  2. google.com
  3. live.com
  4. linuxmint.com
  5. meetup.com
  6. firstgroup.com
  7. facebook.com
  8. futurelearn.com
  9. edp24.co.uk
  10. twitter.com
  11. amazonaws.comfsu.edu

This demonstrates that at the moment I’m regularly visiting a mixture of MOOC (online course) sites, search engines, social networking sites, bus timetable sites, techie sites and local news sites.  This is on my home computer – the sites I visit on my work computer will be very different (mostly related to web development and the sites I’m currently building).

The History Visualiser website provided via the Future Learn course also enabled you to generate pie charts showing your most frequently visited sites. Below is mine – it’s interesting that I visit more .com sites than .uk ones:
