How do people use tabs - 3
Comment on http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/how-do-people-use-tabs/
“… Tabs have also impacted the way I use websites in a broader sense. When given a page containing several links to pages I’d like to read, rather than clicking on a link to read the page and then going back to the list, I find myself using keyboard & mouse commands to open LOTS of pages into *background* tabs, then closing the original page to move around in my new collection of open tabs. Visiting news websites, wikipedia pages, google results, reddit.com, slashdot, etc. is now a pleasure: I don’t feel like I’m missing links I wanted to visit because I just open things in the background and go back to them later. Every morning, time permitting, I probably visit a half dozen or so main sites, from which a few dozen (or a few hundred) tabs might be opened for reading as I go through the tabs, sometimes leaving things open to read later, other times closing them immediately when they prove to be uninteresting.”
