PERSONAL PORTAL
Most people never change their browser to meet their tastes or needs. That seems like such an under-utilization of a powerful tool. Instead of being stuck with the browser page set by your machine's manufacturer, you've always been able to set it to open to something else, like the Google search page, Google News, New York Times, etc. But, there are also quite a few tools now that let you make your own start page.
iGoogle is one of those. This screen shot is the one I set up for my office computer. It has a lot of the sites I visit regularly, like Google News, New York Times, Washington Post, local television stations, etc. And, like the portals that you see on Yahoo, I've put the weather, maps, the tunnel cams, TV Guide, Movies, Facebook, even sticky notes, on there.
