are we hoping to ship a first-run speed dial that gets users where
they want to go with one click, a curated directory of wonderful
things, or a bit of both?
If you turn it into "where we think the user *should* be going to", we
have the 2 continents aligned.
The current top sites didn't get there by free user choice either, but
often marketing. Facebook ... makes people *force* their friends into
Facebook. I am constantly pressured...
What I'm trying to say here is: There is no such thing as neutrality in
this question. If you go by statistics, you re-enforce monopolies.
I would not even put Google (nor Wikipedia) in the top sites, because
it's already hooked into the search UI. If we add Google to top sites,
they'll always click there, wait for the search page to load, then enter
the search term. If we do not add search sites to top sites, they'll
look for our search UI, learn to use it, and be faster long-term.
