What is your homepage?

[MushyMushy]

What do you have as your homepage? I've had iGoogle for a long time now, but they made a few changes that I hate, so I'm looking for a new homepage. I've been playing around with protopage and it seems okay. Nothing will top the old iGoogle IMO, but it's okay.

Just curious what you have for your homepage, and if you actually spend any time on it at all.

mousesavers--that way I will always know if great Disney deal has just been announced. I always glance to check the ;atest deals and if I see soemting interesting, sure I click on it.

My website (that way I can check my blog first thing in the morning for comments).

CNN.com

I had to add the .com, because this website obviously has a formatting error in the program that won't let you have numerous capital letters in order.

Bloomberg - I keep up with the markets and economic news as part of my job.

I'll have to check out Yahoo and see how customizable it is.

Yahoo -- so I can check my mail first thing.

YahOOOOooooo.

 

[OK!]

I used tabbed browsing, so I have 4 or 5 tabs that are my homepage(s). The main one is the Foo Fighters Postboard, followed by ebay, letsgoblues.com, Bank of America, and something else that obviously I don't tend to spend too much time on. And yes, the FFPB is the site I spend the most time on.

Do you use Firefox? I use my tabs too. What I like about some homepages (particularly the way iGoogle used to be) is how you can customize everything. I used to have the disboards as a feed on my page, but I quit using it because I couldn't figure out how to get just the CB on there.

Here's a picture of the new homepage I'm trying out:

I have iGoogle and also am not a huge fan of the new changes (with the tab on the left)

I think the left tabs are terrible. What were they thinking? Are you able to keep yourself signed in? Now I'm to the point where I have to sign in every time I open my browser for the first time. I used to be signed in all day. I followed all the troubleshooting tips, but nothing worked, and then I read that they were doing that for our protection.

I HATE what they've done to my iGOOGLE too! I thought it was just me. I wonder why they added that column/tab? I wonder if everyone is complaining? I mean - those links are already on the page - why do they need to be in the left margin too?

Here's a link I just used to tell them how much I hate the fact that they've messed with my iGOOGLE, in case anyone else is interested:http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/request.py?contact_type=feedback

Yep, love Firefox. The only problem I have with it is that it occasionally hiccups with YouTube, like it'll either play videos without sound, or will start playing normally, go for about 5 seconds, and then freeze. It's fantastic for everything else, though, and I <3 the plugins. I have such an insane amount of downloaded video now that I needed to get a 2nd external HD so as not to bog down the internal or the other external.

The Colorful Tabs app is pretty nice, too.

It is staying signed in for about a week for me. I've not timed it, but when I think about it - it seems like a weekly annoyance.

Not sure what they were thinking with the tab.

Great Link! I was too lazy to look it up myself. I just sent a quick note about what I think of the changes.

Google, because it's minimalist and quick to load.

My dad uses MSN.
