24 Personalized Start Pages

Since this is a Monday, figured it might be best to start your week off with the best ways to start of your day – a good start page in your browser.  As familiar as your morning cup of coffee – which of these is your favorite?

  • PopURLs – Uniquely different than the rest, but still have a lot of information to share.
  • My Live – The standard lots of boxes, fill me up type of start page.
  • Protopage – One of the better of the customizable start pages, tons of options and tools.
  • Pageflakes – Another top choice of mine.  Really like the look and feel of Pageflakes.
  • Netvibes – Best of the lesser known selections.  Latest update was kinda disappointing however.
  • Suprglu – Brings your favorite social tools together to create a better start page.
  • 24eyes – At least they didn’t call it 99 bottles of beer on the wall?
  • iGoogle – Google’s recently updated way to start your day.  Quickly becoming a fan favorite.
  • favoor – Notes, news links and more on this lesser known start page.
  • StartAid -StartAid is perfect for saving all your bookmarks online.
  • eskobo – Funny enough, has nothing to do with Eskimos.  Who knew?
  • smplr – One text box to rule them all!  It doesn’t get any more simplier. (or is that smplr?)
  • feedly – Start page + Firefox = Starting Goodness?
  • Widexplorer – Because nobody wanted to use the narrow explorer.
  • Gizi – A clone of the more traditional tons of boxes start page.
  • LinkedFeed – The more you use it, the better it serves you!
  • Fav 2.0 – A thumbnail gallery of your favorite web sites.
  • Widgetop – A fun and colorful desktop-like start page. 
  • BBC Beta – Even the BBC is letting you customize their front page.
  • Webwag – Looks like Netvibes’ ugly and less talented step sister.
  • My AOL – Get your day going with a fresh cup of AOL!
  • Sputtr – At least it wasn’t called stu.. stu… studder.
  • Symbaloo – Wins my most unique award.  Tons of squares to fill in with your favorites.
  • My Yahoo! – Get your news, weather, RSS feeds and more all with a Yahoo!-like twist.

Is it time to change the start page you have been using?  There are many of them out there to choose from.  Secret is, is to find the one that provides the most stuff you need in the best presentation possible.
