I use a website called netvibes.com
It's a fairly intuitive and handy homepage. It basically loads my gmail acct, facebook acct, digg, all my blog feeds, weather, and whatever else. It allows me to organize it very nicely on pages with tabs all done with Ajax (basically just drag and drop whatever wherever).
I'm curious though what others use?
Sidenote: For awhile I was an opera user and quite liked the speed dial startup page.

What is your default homepage?
Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

At work, I have Google News, the local newspaper and a few of our corporate Intranet pages open in tabs at startup. At home, I either use a blank page or the basic Firefox start page.
Netvibes looks pretty slick. I think if I want to source a bunch of different locations, I'd probably rather have separate tabs open. But I can see a use for centralized access to all that information. Thanks for the link.

What's a homepage? You mean some of you use a browser that doesn't conveniently open the pages you had open when you last closed it down? Why?

Mine is about:blank because... just because I haven't bothered changing it to anything else, and I didn't want to see the Firefox page.

I last closed down Firefox on my laptop... hmm... a few days after 2.0.0.12 came out. And before that, I closed it down a few days after 2.0.0.11 came out. I can't remember if I've actually restarted to upgrade to 13 yet. See, I treat my XP box as though it were an OS/2 box. (Which is half right. The kernel was developed from the OS/2 kernel.) Unfortunately this means that I leak memory a bit, so the reboots have to come somewhat more frequently. But hey. Why reboot if you're still using the computer?Originally posted by Grantref
