  • Chila · 4 months ago
    No day can begin without a breakfast, although the Internet might be the next thing.
  • Jon Stringer · 4 months ago
    Actually Sex first (lol) Then...

    Coffe, fag, toast, facebook, email, fag, twitter, coffe and all the rss goodies on igoogle, get dressed then of to work!

    At least I'm honest

  • Zee · 4 months ago
    Good question. Internet, then forgot about breakfast and went straight through to lunch.
  • People Search · 4 months ago
    That often happens to me. Too busy in the morning on the internet and then go straight to lunch. That is what will likely happen today, as a matter of fact.
  • Julia · 4 months ago
    Same here, that's exactly what I do! I guess I need to find somewhere near the kitchen to use my laptop, since right now food is the only reason for me to leave my room... And even that's iffy
  • Shitij Nigam · 4 months ago
    Same here. Strange.
  • KathleenLD · 4 months ago
    I wake up through the night and roll over to check my email... so when I finally get up in the morning I'm ready to eat!!
  • Adam Saunders · 4 months ago

  • Stephanie Tay · 4 months ago
    I actually go downstairs, make my egg white omelette and bring it back up to go on the internet. We call it Chat 'n' Chew, no?
  • Jonathan · 4 months ago
    Coffee comes first. Can't do anything without that in my system.
  • Luka Novak · 4 months ago

    I check Twitterrific, Mail and my Facebook then go and get breakfast :)
  • Rebecca Fannin · 4 months ago
    I check email as I'm getting ready for work - definitely before breakfast.
  • Melissa Cassera · 4 months ago
    Email - morning bootcamp - More Email/Internet - Breakfast!
  • Joonas Linkola · 4 months ago
    Both, simultaneously. Hence the greasy fingerprints.
  • Kerel Cooper · 4 months ago
    Check email is the last thing I do before I go to bed and the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning.
  • bellavalentina1 · 4 months ago
    First thing I do each morning is turn on my computer and head straight to Facebook, followed by Twitter, and then my emails. I am a complete junkie.
  • cris · 4 months ago
    INTERNET!
  • JayVig · 4 months ago
    Check the iPhone for texts/missed calls immediately. Then a quick look for anything pressing on Email, Twitter and Facebook. If nothing grabs my eye, I'll make breakfast and coffee and then sit down and go through everything more in depth while I eat.
  • Ilana · 4 months ago
    Am I the only one who brushes their teeth first?
  • Stephanie Tay · 4 months ago
    Apparently! lol sad, huh?
  • Bala · 4 months ago

  • MagendaOnline.com · 4 months ago
    I actually go down, make my egg white omelette and bring it back up to go on the internet. We call it Chat 'n' Chew, no?
  • Melissa · 4 months ago
    it's simultaneous. I sit down at my desk and eat my cereal while getting online. of course, i work from home, so i dont have to rush to surf before i get into the office.
  • Nicole C. Engard · 4 months ago
    I check email, twitter, facebook and then get breakfast, then back to checking email, twitter, facebook and all additional networks
  • Dave Lowe · 4 months ago
    I use the alarm on my phone to wake up. My next steps are usually rolling over, loading Twitter, and some quick browsing. This is probably common.
  • Nicholas C · 4 months ago
    Wake up, wake up iMac, check Twitter, check email, turn on iPhone, check Twitter again, drink coffee, eat breakfast.
  • Bleau · 4 months ago
    Internet of course. Then coffee. Breakfast or brunch can come later.
  • Italo Campoly · 4 months ago

    - Twitter
    - Facebook
  • ethug · 4 months ago
    usually check phone before getting too far.. but i use it as an alarm so i have to anyways... and check the rest once at work... but i do it while eating my daily muffin at my desk, so typically same time. when i'm not working.. usually internet before breakfast, typically to check weather and the rest is already open, so why not!
  • izmir web tasarim · 4 months ago

    Vanessa Capozzi
  • robe1221 · 4 months ago
    eat breakfast and internet at the same time
  • simoncrabb · 4 months ago
    My iPhone wakes me up and I check messages straight away. I sometimes check messages in the middle of the night if I wake up too...
  • Jemma · 4 months ago
    I use my mobile phone alarm clock, so the first thing I see when I open my eyes is the screen, showing my (work) emails and texts.

    I'm not entirely sure it's good for me...
  • Jari Hakkarainen · 4 months ago
    Most of the time it's Internet first, then breakfast. It's funny to notice I'm not the only one starting day like this.
  • teestmc · 4 months ago
    its coffee and internet first every morning. i wait til i get to the office for breakfast.
  • benogrady · 4 months ago
    I stretch first. Then fire up Internet, check email, check Mashable! Then make breakfast.
  • mashable · 4 months ago
    Correct answer :)
  • Kelley Marie Mitchell · 3 months ago
    What a schoomzer ; ) but I agree totally.

  • Maiis · 4 months ago
    First: light up a smoke, then coffee, mail, facebook before get dressed :)
  • CWaterhouse · 4 months ago
    Count me in the group that checks messages, twitter, facebook and texts ... even before my feet hit the floor. And then, I make breakfast for the family. :)
  • DiP · 4 months ago
    Internet ! First, i don't like breakfast !
  • A.Davis · 4 months ago
    I definitely check my Blackberry for new email, Facebook, Twitter, etc... before I even get out of bed. Like Jemma, I use my phone as an alarm clock, so it's a pretty seamless transition of activity in the morning. *sigh* definitely sure this shows how my need to stay connected is out of control, lol.
  • nev nev · 4 months ago
    internet!!!
  • Steven Rossi · 4 months ago
    Just recently I made a new rule for myself: I will not go to the computer until after I have taken my morning shower. Otherwise not only do I wake up and rush to the screen, but I end up spending way too much time there and then have to rush to be out the door in time.
  • Marcelo Bilibio · 4 months ago
    Internet... =P
  • Zedo Mann · 4 months ago
    Turned on Computer, checked E-mail, Twitter, FB, messed around a bit, got hungry, ate Breakfast, went back to comp, clicked this link on the Mashable Twitter, made this comment...
  • Marcelo Bilibio · 4 months ago
    Internet... =P
  • Caroline · 4 months ago
    Yup, first thing I do on my way to the kitechn to boil the kettle is turn my macbook on. By the time the kettle has boiled I know how many emails/twitter replies I have to deal with and can decide whether or not to breakfast accordingly!
  • magnoliasouth · 4 months ago
    Definitely internet. I crawl out of bed, grab a cup of coffee and log onto the computer to check my email, read the news online and check the weather. Remember the days when we drank our coffee and read the newspaper? Those days are pretty much over.
  • Sheema Siddiqi · 4 months ago
    I'll admit that internet comes before breakfast!
  • Delia Turner · 4 months ago
    As far as I'm concerned, it's not much different from what I always did, except I did that with the morning newspaper.
  • Delia Turner · 4 months ago
  • Minna · 4 months ago
    Both at the same time. I _usually_ eat breakfast while internetting (checkin e-mail, twitter, some discussion boards, news).
  • Gabriela · 4 months ago
    Today I did the other way around. But usually it is Interent first, and then breakfast.
  • edgar wong baxter jr · 4 months ago
    Seeing as my iPhone gets me up every morning, and I often find myself squinting at webkit before I'm truly awake, I'm gonna have to admit internet.
  • jujudellago · 4 months ago
    I check my mail, twitter, fav. RSS feeds and facebook messages before leaving my bed !!! takes 5-10 minutes....

    but then a good breakfast is really important !! fresh fruits, youghurt and a yogi tea :)
  • kayluss · 4 months ago
    First thing in the morning I check my blackberry for all my messages, tweets, and email.
  • Vincent Chow · 4 months ago
    Internet first. Most of the time I will go online using my phone after I'm done in the washroom. Only after that I will go have breakfast, or straight to my laptop without breakfast.
  • rachiebabieja · 4 months ago
    still in bed!
    facebook,. twitter, emails, news sites are all checked before even getting out of bed
    in fact, my laptop stays in bed with me, sleeps with me and is hardly ever off
    my mobile phones as well
    good to know i am not the odd one out!
  • agentkevinski · 4 months ago
    Ugh, y'got me. I walked across to the office this morning and powered on my comp, with not a thought given over to even the prospect of breakfast until reading this article's headline.
  • Nikhil · 4 months ago
    The internet...the moment I wake up. If the laptop is next to the bed I check that first, but usually, I just pick up my mobile, check my email, then twitter, and then begin surfacing.
  • rachiebabieja · 4 months ago

  • rokensa · 4 months ago
    Internet powers up my day ^-^ no breakfast can do this trick better for me!
  • Julia · 4 months ago
    Power up first!
  • Janice · 4 months ago
    I am online early in the morning since I work at home and often have early shifts. Breakfast is often eaten while working but it's a treat to actually sit and eat it without fearing for the safety of my keyboard. Even if I weren't working from my laptop, I feel quite sure I would be online as soon as my eyes unblurred themselves!
  • Melissa · 4 months ago
    I absolutley check the BlackBerry before I even think about getting out of bed.
  • LynnMooney · 4 months ago
    I leave my computer on 24/7, so I'm ready to get my day started without delay. Coffee is automatically made in the am, so there is no waiting there either.
  • Vicki Elam · 4 months ago
    Internet first, FB and Twitter of course LOL
  • SKSDesigns · 4 months ago
    Definitely Internet first! The computer needs to be up and running before I make my breakfast so that I can read and eat at the same time. I think I would starve if the Internet were to go down!
  • Tom Reaoch · 4 months ago
    Work from home,wake at 6,boot the computer, walk the dog, start coffee, Linkedin,Twitter , email check . Can usually answer Asian friends before they leave for the day, and European friends before they leave for lunch. Then I have breakfast, start answering Brazil and the Americas.....
  • Vincent Chow · 4 months ago

  • Robert · 4 months ago
    Leap out of bed, fire up the laptop, check email & twitter in that order, then get juice and coffee. Wash, off for a short walk and to get the post. Back to the laptop with the coffee and into work! That's it.
  • Andrew · 4 months ago
    Breakfast comes first. Internet waits until I get to work on a weekday. On the weekend I may not get online until mid afternoon. (I realize this revelation may cost me my geek card.)
  • Nick Beech · 4 months ago
    The only thing that trumps internet is nicoteine...and that's about it
  • Dee · 4 months ago
    Eat breakfast! My social network on the internet can wait..;-)
  • TV James · 4 months ago
    Wii Fit (simultaneously with Facebook, Google Reader). Then shower, then Blackberry. Then drive to the office where I make my oatmeal and coffee while I'm getting my day started.
  • The Televixen · 4 months ago
    On the laptop when the eyes are barely open. Checking mail, Twitter, etc with a coffee in hand. Breakfast is at least a couple hours later.
  • r0cketman22 · 4 months ago
    Internet first, for sure. If I'm not finished before breakfast arrives, than both at the same time. (McDonald's delivers here. (24/7 at that))
  • Alex · 4 months ago
    First thing I check is twitter, then FB then check the newspaper headlines online. Then I can think about breakfast.

  • Lisa Adams Walter · 4 months ago
    Wake up, fire up the laptop, turn on the Blackberry, download email while simultaneously check-in on Twitter and Facebook... THEN have breakfast while perusing the HOT items, topics and posts of the day. INTERNET first. For sure. It's been that way for more than a decade for me.

  • Mike · 4 months ago
    I often skip out on breakfast and lunch due to being on the internet. Not enough time in the day to fit those meals in. I work from home at the computer.
  • Vanessa Morriss · 4 months ago
    Take the Collies out. Then have to feed 'em before I can do anything else. No peace for the wicked.

  • lavrusik · 4 months ago
    I roll over, pick up my phone and check e-mails. Usually reading through Mashable's e-mailed newsletter ;) and then going straight to Twitter to see what folks are talking about. Then I get up and have breakfast and pick up the mornings paper. Yes, I still read the newspaper.

    Affirm I am not going to spend all day on facebook and twitter.
    Drink coffee/tea while scanning through what all my friends have to say and to share.
    Look at clock - what do you mean it is 5pm?

  • danielle · 4 months ago
    Weekdays: i check email from bed, on my iphone, usually. then i can be found catching up on overnight tweets while i get ready for work (again, on iphone). sometimes i'll hop on the computer before i hit the office, if there's time.

    Weekends: i am on the laptop first thing. my husband and i usually spend the first hour playing around on news sites, blogs, and social networks. if breakfast is lucky, it'll get consumed during that period. most of the time coffee is the only thing that makes it.
  • Rebecca Eisenberg · 4 months ago
    definitely internet first, then breakfast.
  • Esra · 4 months ago
    Right when I open my eyes, I turn around and grab my Ipod touch to check my emails and check twitter and facebook. Maybe update status messages, or just go back to sleep some more if I don't have to go to work.

    Breakfast is never the first thing I have in the morning.

    It's a digital breakfast combo. Tap a few keys, eat a spoonful of cornflakes. Constantly digesting.

    If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the cereal bowl back into the kitchen and washed up, I'm all ears.

    Internet before breakfast. I always check email and, depending on how much time I have, may also check Tweetdeck and Facebook. All on my iPhone. I don't like to eat first thing in the morning so I typically don't have breakfast for an hour or two after I get up.

  • TheGoodDrLaura · 4 months ago
    Blackberry first. It's my alarm, so I reach over, turn off the alarm, and go directly to Twitter (UberTwitter), before I even get out of bed.. A sign of a true addict.
    (then feed the dog, do the morning stuff, make coffee, have breakfast, with the laptop on the table, where I go to news sites & check email).

    It occurs to me that those who eat breakfast first and check Twitter/computer later won't be responding (like we are) before 8 a.m.

    There's no question about it, internet comes first; have to get the laptop started pulling in emails while I get coffee. Besides, you can always eat at your desk.
  • Alice Heiman · 4 months ago
    Coffee is always first with me, but sometimes while I am waiting for the it to drip I check my facebook. It is a great phenom now but since it is one of the ways we keep up with our friends and family it is very compelling. I also am always anxious to see if my friends, family and business colleagues have responded to my posts - it is all about he conversation.

    The last thing I do at night is close my laptop, which I take with me to bed. The first thing I do in the morning is pick up my iPhone, which I use as an alarm, to check Twitter, Facebook and Newsfire. After putting on clothes and so on I go on my laptop before leaving for work. I usually don't have any breakfast until I get to the office.
  • Tiffany · 4 months ago
    I eat breakfast at the office while checking my e-mail. Occasionaly I'll check my personal e-mail while getting dressed.
  • Sara · 4 months ago
    The first thing I have done--for seven years or so--is get up early in the morning and use the computer. It started because I was waiting for people to finish getting ready for school, and it was an activity that could easily be started/finished without wasting time. Now, I still wake up because the mornings are the only quiet hours to get (personal) work done. Getting up in the morning and turning on the computer, maybe with some hot chocolate, or some breakfast bars, or with your blanket still on because it's really cold in the room...it has a feel, doesn't it?
  • eB · 4 months ago
    Busted, read this before breakfast or getting out of bed. Usually an iPhone check before I get out of bed most mornings, give me a heads up to what's waiting for the day.

    I rolled over, looked at the facebook alerts on my phone, got up and hit the Internet on my computer. I still haven't had breakfast. I used to get up and turn on the TV. That's now what I do when I'm ready to sit and eat breakfast. I find it hard to use the Internet and eat at the same time.

Close the lid, more fussing in front of the mirror, and out the door I go.

    And that's on a good day.

    I get up at 5.50am when I have to go to work and I leave the house at 6.05am. Hence, no time to turn on the computer or to eat breakfast, just enough time for one coffee. At work, I check my email, facebook and twitter accounts. Then I get sth to eat and another coffee.
    On weekends I make coffee while I turn on my computer and eat breakfast while I check all my accounts. I usually eat breakfast for about three hours...

No one get even close to the former Virtual Places Chat. I wonder why this retrocession! This Chat I mentioned above had so many features to comunicate (of course) and tools to entartanment. And was even a browser! I never seen again something so nice and sophisticated as VP Chat. In that time, I really did to turn on the computer before a breakfast, in fact, I did not, because was always turned on, as I used to spend to whole night awake chatting and having fun out there...

After that I check my phone for new emails, wade through the tweets I got while I was asleep, and make sure I didn't miss any calls (in that order, calls are least important usually). Afterwards, if I'm up before 10:00am I grab breakfast, otherwise I get on the computer to check Google Reader and catch up on the news.

    Breakfast first. Sometimes fire up the laptop while I'm eating.

    I have coffee with hubby on the porch before clicking on the Twitter and email (but he gets up earlier and has already printed off the right wing news articles to share with me over coffee)

    I turn off my alarm, roll over, grab my phone, check Twitter, Facebook, & Google News. Then I shower and then I eat before going to work.

    Interesting, I try to exercise first than eat, and go on the computer, but sometimes the computer does come first!

    I usually check Facebook, Twitter and e-mail on my iPhone before even getting out of bed. Both because I'm an addict and because it helps me wake up. Then I have breakfast and break out my actual computer and re-check everything before heading out to work.

    Why split two beautiful things up? I generally enjoy a nice bit of fruit and water for breakfast (go detox!) and check emails, papers and all that jazz.Mostly I'm looking for things to write about on my blog, things like http://us.dubli.com/The-New-York-Spygame__3_291.... Helps me to wake up, and sets me up for the day. After that, I go off for a jog. Sometimes I disgust myself with my healthiness....

    Yep, that's me. I've been doing that for years. I guess it's an indicator of how deep my Internet geek habits go. But I check email and FB first thing. Twitter not so much because I'm not going to scroll through hours of tweets. Then I move on to breakfast and starting my day.

    Internet first, then tea and toast in bed while I catch up with the latest news! :)

    I've a Nokia 6300 with GPRS enabled here in Afghanistan, trust me, the first thing I do in the morning right after i wake up even with eyes opened in half, grab the phone and open Gmail apps on my phone and check my email.

    I really can't stop doing it. :)

    Its been internet for a long time. I've got a BlackBerry and sometimes catch myself checking emails in the middle of the night when I happen to wake up. (I've got a puppy so that happens quite frequently.)

    I don't skip breakfast though. I'm actually considering getting up earlier to try and keep up with all the online activities when I go back to work. (Currently on leave.) Online living can be overwhelming!

    Well when I power up my device, that usually is the beginning of my day, with sleep still in my eyes..

    I'm not really a breakfast eater so I've always eaten breakfast a few hours after I wake up. But I have noticed that not only do I check my email earlier now, but that my boyfriend and family do the same.
  • Debra Banks · 3 months ago
    Since at least one of my devices is never powered down, I check out my iPhone before my feet hit the floor in the morning. Gotta love that Twitter, email, eBay, Twitter...wow.

    I guess a Social Internet Alarm Clock is really not that far fetched? Let the Internet wake you up!

  • Jensen · 3 months ago
    Ever since I got an iPhone, the first thing I do in the morning (well, sometimes the first thing ;) is check my personal email and look at my favorite RSS feeds. It's a nice thing to look forward to instead of stumbling around bleary-eyed for a few minutes.
