After probably 12+ years of using Yahoo! as my homepage, I decided today that I’m going to try something else. I stare at the page multiple times everyday, but I realized I don’t actually find any useful or interesting information there. Ever. It’s not just the clutter (which has been an issue for years). It’s that I don’t really like the editorial direction that they’re taking lately… focusing on gossip and light “lifestyle” type of news. I apologize to the people I know who work on it, but it’s really a mess and only seems to be getting worse from my perspective. Most likely, I just don’t fit the demographic they’re targeting. I don’t like My Yahoo! either.
Anyway, I’m moving on. What’s your homepage of choice? I’m leaning towards iGoogle, but have also heard decent things about Netvibes, PageFlakes, and others. What do you recommend?
I’ve just switched from the BBC News to Tumblr’s front page, though I probably end up back at the BBC website more often than I should do. I’ve tried Netvibes, iGoogle, and the rest, but generally none of them are quite right.
