I Need a New Homepage
I've been using My Yahoo! for years now, and I'm getting fed up with being presented news headlines and sports scores from two-weeks-ago. (A friend of Isengard.gov, who recently transfered out of the My Yahoo! group, explained to me that the design of their feed system is, if I remember his expression correctly, retarded.) What are my fellow Eisengeisters using these days for a homepage service?

I'm using MyYahoo as my homepage right now, and I have to say I find the speed of the feeds to be fine.
On the flip side, when I first started using it, it seemed to pull in real news feeds.
Now the top stories section is filled with, how do you say it, Hollywood news for retards.
I'm trying out www.netvibes.com. So far, so good. Good way to organize RSS feeds, but a bit lacking in the sort of widgets that allow you to glance at weather and sports scores.
Dr.X posts this from the Mozilla Foundation parking lot:
"I wrote my own - in FORTH. The only thing is you have to remember where each entry is in the stack, and which physical disk address has been assigned to it, but once you get used to doing a little hexadecimal math your head it's pretty easy. You can also use it as a shell if you need an operating system."
