Hotlists/bookmarks/favorites/whateveryouwanttocallthem.  After a site
is visited, it's bookmarked.

There's also the issue of context.  Just because I want to find Foo, Inc.'s
website, and just because www.foo.com exists, doesn't mean that foo.com
is the foo.com I wanted.  There may be another legitimate Foo, Inc. out there
that doesn't infringe on the other Foo, Inc. because of the difference in
markets.  E.g., is www.ford.com the Ford Motor Co., or the Ford Modelling
Agency?  I don't know until I go there, and depending on which one I 
was looking for, it may or may not be helpful.
