IE8 has a suggested sites feature. This is what it offers up from randi.org

Looks like all the functional excellence I've come to expect from Microsoft.

My guess would be that Brown's site shows up a lot in discussions here, and that might explain why it's listed.

Landover is a parody site. I know it's been discussed, but I would not have guess it was discussed so much that it would be considered of primary interest over such topics as the 911 conspiracy sites and such. Might be that it's a popular site for others, and that moved it up the list?

Wonder what criteria IE8 uses for it's suggestions..

If you're going to use IE, you pretty much deserve whatever you get.

Having said that, I will certainly download it, only to see how badly it renders my web pages, and to test whatever HTML/CSS hacks I have to make to undo the damage.

Going by this it looks like it's tracking movements to/from other sites to/from here?

Hmmm. I was wondering whether it might also do the reverse - suggest JREF as a suitable place for people interested in SB to visit!
