A question, how do you guys fInd your way to team liquid? Do you just type a memorized address into the address bar (http://www.teamliquid.net), and whenever you do so do you type the whole address or does the engine finish it for you? Maybe you have the site bookmarked? or do you just have the site open all the time?
What I do to find teamliquid every other hour of almost every day, is type the ambiguous letter combination of t and l into the google search engine on the top right corner of the screen. And whenever I do the first thing to come up in the results is

Im sure I'm not the only one who takes this particular road to tl, but I honestly feel that I appreciate more so than anyone else the idea that of all the numerous subjects pertaining to the letters tl, this site, this place, is the one that comes up first. For some obscure reason that thought warms my heart after a day wasted browsing blogs and first hand accounts of savagely entertaining bans.
But of course that pleasure is a false one. Google learns about us, it takes into account all the things we've searched and builds this persona of us from which it determines what it thinks we want to see.
Team liquid is not actually the firstborn of the initials tl, it only seems that way to me and those that google deems to be just like me. Tl might stand for the name of a rebel or a king or a god, it could also mean a disease a cure or a wondrous program meant only for pc. It could mean anything, it could mean something far more spectacular than team liquid(sorry guys) but ill never know what else tl stands for, not without digging through 10 pages of search results, because google is so sure it knows me.
Ok im being a bit over dramatic but I'm not a fan of algorithms made for the sole purpose of pinning down who I am, what I like, and in doing so turning my online world into an online bubble all for the sake of convenience(mine and their own).

Well, what you asked for.
I have it bookmarked in my toolbar, alongside at least 30 other sites, so that I only have to click on the icon (usually with my mosueweel in order to open a new tab).
From my ~70tabs, the first one is always GosuGamers, I never close that tab and never open anything else in there and everything else is opened via my bookmarks toolbar.
Did you know however, that you can basically assign a letter in the address bar to a site (at least with firefox)? Simply type one letter, that letter, however, has to be found in the address or the site title for the site to be in the list, and even then there can be too many.
Otherwise, then select the page you want for it, and if you do it a couple of times, it will go up in the list until it's on top, so that way you only have to enter the letter and get to the first site the address bar gives you.

Same here, bro. I can also type [sfw] and get to that thread without using the TL search.
Chrome knows where I go, and it autosuggests websites as I type them. 99% of the time, it gets it right. I usually don't even need to type more than three letters, as well.

i have it in an app tab always open in ff4

either use chrome's badass autofill function and type "t" then press enter or use my TL bookmark.
I also have a bookmarks folder for TL mafia because it's a pain to navigate there from the main page.
haven't typed in a "www" in years.
|
Same as many posters above. T and enter. Should be the fastest way.

WHY IE ;_;
...
I have TL bookmarked of course. 
|
If I'm at work I'll just F6 and type teamliquid.net. You rarely ever need www. when typing a url into an address bar.
At home I just press F6 then "t" without pressing enter. Chrome has this weird feature that you can turn on; loads webpages while typing URL even without enter. Also have TL on Chrome's speed dial addon too.

I have a tl bookmark with a keyword of "tl." So I type tl and hit enter and it brings me to www.teamliquid.net

Would it impress you that those are my internet tabs at work?
Lol i don't get to choose the browser at work xD

I have no idea what that second last paragraph was all about.
But anyways, TL is my homepage. I never navigate away from it either - just open tabs for other sites.
