Quickly Open Websites

I don’t remember where I stumbled upon these little tricks but I’ve found myself quite the nifty habit:

Whenever I want to pull up a website (ie, www.devinreams.com) I just type ‘devinreams’ in the address bar and hit Ctrl-Enter. Both Firefox and IE fill in the http://www. and .com for you!
Think of all the time saved!

Bonus: Firefox does the same for .net and .org with Shift-Enter and Alt-Enter, respectively! Reason #1837 why Firefox is so much better!

…ah, who am I kidding? I can’t think of one top-level site I visit daily that isn’t .com.

About Devin Reams

My name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts). I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.

    Hah good point, Ed. I’ve finally brought myself to add the top 10 or so sites to my links toolbar. At least they’re visually there and serve as a reminder!
