Another start page website to check out is Odysen, http://www.odysen.com. It has widgets, multiple pages, and social networking features.

Some of the distinguishing features include free formatting and integrated RSS feeds, allowing you to add multiple feeds in one News widget. There is also a blog available with feature updates and page examples, http://odysen.blogspot.com.

I have 2 tabs in Firefox.

1st is iGoogle, feeding in every relevant and valuable blog I can discover and letting them battle it out survival of the fittest -style.

Second is JamesBrausch.com, because for some reason I can’t figure out how to feed his blog, but I don’t want to miss a day of it anyway. It’s that good!

I use IGoogle.

I have it set up to show SEOBook Tools, Weather, GMail, and Document to PDF. It works well for me.

My homepage is yahoo, where I have numerous RSS feeds filling the page. I got tired of news articles all talking about Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and the like, so my entire homepage consists of nothing of RSS feeds. Oh, and the weather. 🙂

My.yahoo has been my homepage for a while now, but it may be time for a change. I just haven’t found anything better yet…

Donna, I agree with you, but right-clicking a tab in IE or Firefox will let you close all of them at once.

What I really did with the different web apps was free myself from a local copy of Outlook.

(Of course, now I have multiple machines with local copies of Outlook…)

Ahhh, well, that makes a bit of difference. I close my browser probably 100 or 200 times a day, so I would then be OPENING it that many times too – and reloading all those tabs each time.

I guess, in response to the "why somebody would keep all their tabs alive" question, I should also mention that I actually only close my browser about once every week or so!

So some of you do the expected, but those of you that open up a large set of last visited tabs – that’s new to me. I can’t imagine why I’d want to do that every time I open my browser. Of course, I avoid iGoogle just to avoid giving Google any more pieces of me than they already have. LOL.

And Ed, it’s taken you this long to comment? Tsk, tsk, be more vocal, man! But yeah, I’m impressed with you, you old geek, you. 😉
