    Hi John, Netvibes is a very good startpage! Personally I use Pageflakes, but iGoogle now is also an option. Anyway, it´s very usefull to use a startpage with all informations.

    Hi John,
    I have used both Netvibes and Pageflakes and like them both with a leaning towards Pageflakes. My personalised iGoogle is invaluable (as Hans has suggested) especially with Google Reader embedded, my GMail account etc.

    Did you embed the Google Reader as a gadget (widget) within the iGoogle page? While it's hard to go past Pageflakes, having a customised version of Google is very handy, when you use Google. The Socializer (by web2announcer) gadget is useful too. Check out Mashable.com's comparison of 14 personal startpages. (It also includes yourminis which has potential).
