Top 6 Things I look at in the online Newspapers I read:

1. Obituaries - to make sure I haven't died yet
2. Births - to see if any of my friends (or my kids' friends) have had babies
3. The headlines
4. Anything that starts with "George Bush said"
5. Any technical news that looks interesting
6. In the local paper, the photo page, also to look for friends or just people I know.
