Start page cycling
Dan Grover | May 29 2006
I came up with this potentially hair-brained idea a half hour ago or so and wanted to share it with you guys to see what you thought. The idea is to have a free/very cheap service that gives you a personal url to set as a start page. You can then configure it to redirect in several ways: + potentially go to a page once every day the first time you visit the redirection. For instance, you could have it go to a certain page during work time, another at other times, etc. Or maybe just have a "message" instead of a URL it displays. It could also keep stats perhaps. Particularly crafty users could chain them together. It could be a totally free service w/donations, or nag you every x times to pay the $4 or whatever it is. And whatever it is, it would be all ajaxy and very polished/well executed. Potentially useful? Or lame? 10 Comments

This is something that I posted to another thread on this board somewhere: ============ See this on Lifehacker: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/greasemonkey/invisibility-cloak-update-149252.php As I say this allows you to block sites at specific times during the day, but not set a different start page or whatever. » POSTED IN:
