I used to use Pageflakes.

Then they forced a “sponsored Content” box on your page.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Hi everybody!!!

A good example of Web 2.0 : http://www.uStart.org …
this website is designed for pepole who wants to have all informations like RSS, podcasts , weather , mails , dates of tv series , notes , etc… in the same page! Everything is customizable (bloc position, skins, … a real Web 2.0 page!)
I use it everyday
Enjoy!

Anatoly, that’s funny how we both came to exactly the opposite conclusions! I find Pageflakes to have better gadgets and a better looking start page. Anyone use any other start page for their browser?

I tried both pageflakes and igoogle. For some time I used them both, using the multi homepage option in firefox.
In my opinion igoogle is a much more better choice. The design is better and also the gadgets. I don’t put news on my homepage – I have google reader for this. I simply didn’t find anything I need that was available only on pageflakes.
