I have used Google as my homepage for about 2 years now, and recently decided that it will be nice to start my Internet journey each day with some content, rather than with a search box. It was around this time that I saw the article in Business 2.0 (nothing like finally catching up on my reading!), which listed Netvibes as one of the disrupting innovators.

I used Netvibes for 3 weeks, and found it easy and useful, but very slow in loading. So slow, in fact, that it often took more than a minute for my personalized webpage to open. I then tried Google's version, which was fast but not as user-friendly. I finally settled on Pageflakes, which loads very fast and it my current favorite.

I know there are other AJAX-based websites that allow us to select and organize our own personalized content, so I am interested to see what comes next. For now, PageFlakes is my favorite.
