Soon this will be my mother; her face will be glowing to the light of a computer screen. She’ll be the one checking emails at 5:30 AM and just before bed. Perhaps mom will become addicted to online shopping and I’ll visit to find her house full of Zappos shoes.
Whatever happens, I want to steer mom in the right direction with her first computer and first real time alone on the Internet. Firefox will be the default browser of course, but what should I load it up with. What bookmarks should I start her off with?
I’m asking you, my friends, family and few readers – What bookmarks to start off mom with.
As incentive to answer, each person who leaves a unique bookmark site in a comment and in such a way that I can find your email, will receive a copy of my Sunday Guide to Social Networking e-book in PDF format.

The obvious first bookmark you should give her is Google Reader with your blog in as the first feed. :)
My second suggestion is a tool, not a bookmark: Set her up with Jing (from TechSmith). Download it from http://www.jingproject.com/ It will let her tell you what's wrong with the computer when she has problems. It's free. It comes with its own online storage space on ScreenCast.com. And, it just works!
