If you were choosing the default bookmarks for a browser, what would you choose? -- Current day safari default bookmarks by Amit Gupta.
1. Apple -- of course.
2. Yahoo! -- makes sense. One destination for pretty much every kind of basic internet service. (Google's homepage is too sparse.)
3 & 4. Google Maps and YouTube -- Interesting choices, but maybe it makes sense if you consider their presence on the iPhone? Not sure about these..
5. Wikipedia -- wow. awesome. Seems very net-savvy, and I wouldn't have expected it.

News:
- The basics you'd expect.
- We've got NPR, but no FOX.

Popular:
- A new category to me.
- eBay and Amazon have been defaults for a long time.
- Disney is kind of a weird choice
- Flickr, Facebook, and craigslist -- seem like new additions. Very net-savvy and kind of unexpected. (Particularly Flickr and Facebook.)

No .Mac related links to be found...

Disney isn't so weird when you consider that Steve is Disney's largest individual shareholder, thanks to the Pixar acquisition.

Kayak instead of Expedia and Orbitz would make sense.

Steve Jobs also sits on Disney's board since the deal.

I'm almost positive that Yahoo! and Google and everyone else paid for those links to be there, just like how google is installed as the default (and only) search bar option: because of a deal. That's why on firefox (no deal in place) users can choose what the default search will be.

Wouldn't be surprised if non-profit NPR got on there by asking.
