Use a free tool to build a personalised online starting point, with whatever services you wish to add
The Windows Desktop used to be where we spent our time working, playing and trying to stay organised.
When affordable broadband arrived, it was suddenly possible to stay online all day without running up enormous bills. This transformed the notion of the desktop and where it ‘lived’.

Here's how to use Netvibes to create your own online portal page
