I'm setting up links and not sure which is the best way to link to the domain root should I do
<a href="/">home</a> or <a href="http://example.com">home</a> ?
is there a cooler way that I'm unaware of?

When a site links to another one or more than one time in Search Engine Optimization, site A is said to be a linking root domain; the plural, linking root domains is the total number of separate links that link once or more than once to a given site.
What are Linking Domains? Linking Domains are sites that link to your site. The count here is the total number of domains linking to you. If you have ten backlinks from a single domain, like Pinterest or Wikipedia, this will be counted as one linking domain.
The href attribute specifies the URL of the page the link goes to. If the href attribute is not present, the <a> tag will not be a hyperlink. Tip: You can use href="#top" or href="#" to link to the top of the current page!
Unless you have a specific reason you want to always use HTTP, use <a href="/">text</a>. You'll run into problems with SSL otherwise.
There is a cooler way to do it if you're loading scripts, and that is to load cross domain scripts in a protocol-neutral way, as such:
<script src="//example-cdn.com/scripts/jquery-latest-min.js"></script>
That way you avoid the HTTP mixed content warnings in IE.

the simpler / variant is portable across domains, might be considered as an advantage.
