Title: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: SnakeCharmer on September 26, 2007, 06:03:47 PM Up until now, I've just been using msn.com as my home page. Never really thought about personalizing it any. Ideally, I'd love to set it up to automatic RSS feeds, local weather, local news, gaming news, that sort of thing. Is there anything out there flexible enough to do something like that? Even better is if it could manage multiple email accounts. Short of building some sort of webpage (which I lack the knowledge of how to do so) that does it for me, is there such an animal?

Have my weather, news, email, RSS and stocks as mine. TY GMAN. Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: SnakeCharmer on September 27, 2007, 06:23:20 AM Are you talking about the iGoogle page?
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Grand Design on September 27, 2007, 06:44:16 AM Are you talking about the iGoogle page? Yes, it's very customizable. And I haven't tried, but you can route your hotmail, msn mail etc into it. Behold the power of Ajax. Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Sky on September 27, 2007, 07:20:06 AM I either use no homepage or the basic google search page.
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Slayerik on September 27, 2007, 08:06:17 AM I either use no homepage or the basic google search page. Ditto, its really not that hard to actually navigate to sites I need info from :) Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: murdoc on September 27, 2007, 08:21:42 AM Since I'm a sports junkie, everytime I open a web browser it goes to http://www.tsn.ca
I'll have to check out iGoogle to get my sports information even more finely tuned. Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Mandrel on September 27, 2007, 09:06:38 AM I use Netvibes. Great RSS reader, and has tons of widgets for other things like weather.
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Ookii on September 27, 2007, 09:46:06 AM I am of the no-page homepagers. We like our browsers to load up fast.
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Chenghiz on September 28, 2007, 11:21:55 AM I like to just have Firefox open the tabs I had open when I closed it. Makes for a bit of a slow startup but I can leave things open for later reference and pick up where I left off on other things.
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: schild on September 28, 2007, 07:08:09 PM f13 is my home page. Obviously.
I've got one RSS feed subscription. namakoteam.com/linklog Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: stray on September 28, 2007, 08:45:39 PM Y'know... The world could use a really slick, themeable, broadband heavy portal. iGoogle or Yahoo on steroids. Nothing so far is cutting it.
[EDIT] Maybe there's room for me to cash in on the dotcom boom yet. Who's with me? :-P Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: schild on September 28, 2007, 09:05:17 PM I've wanted to do that for ages but with gaming/tech news. Not enough places have RSS feeds to steal from though :(
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Calantus on September 28, 2007, 09:44:25 PM I either use no homepage or the basic google search page. about:blank is where it's at. Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Chenghiz on September 28, 2007, 11:03:08 PM http://gmachina.com/ has quite a number of gaming news feeds although it's not customisable or anything.
Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: Krakrok on September 30, 2007, 10:39:43 AM GameTab does that too. They frame outgoing links though which is lame. Title: Re: Odd Request: Home page? Post by: eldaec on September 30, 2007, 11:56:41 AM |
