Tip #5 Customized Homepages

I have been searching forever for a homepage worthy enough to be my first sight upon going online. My efforts had proven fruitless as I tried so many options. First, I thought I'd try the generic Yahoo and MSN type home pages and set them as my own. The customizing options were limited, but the advertisements on the pages seemed limitless. So after looking around I stumbled on the iGoogle homepage. Well, those of us who use gmail and Google search engines might love this, except me of course. It still wasn't as customizable as I wanted and they required I sign into my gmail account to use it. Well thats not cool because the more you surf the net signed into your gmail account the greater chance you have of spam from site tracking (the price of "free" email). So recently I found a bunch of great fully customizable home pages, add free and many options. My recommended one is Netvibes. This is a great custom homepage with tons of feed, widgets and content options and the most flexible ability to fully customize the look of the site just with drag-and-drop . You can easily import your email account to get real time updates to new mail and many other useful feeds. Netvibes was created in France and you might need to change it to English upon set up, but other then that, kudos to a great homepage to the fellows across the pond.
