@rww twitter and Gmail are my start pages now
@rww I have "one" but never open a browser to it, or for very long.
@rww iGoogle, good way for information management.
@rww No, My default tab is chrome's page with the boxes for recent sites. I usually just type right into browser to search directly
@rww Yes, I use NetVibes. Easy access to my feeds, and since I keep my browser open all the time, it's easier to get to than readers.
@rww Not as a default, though I head over to iGoogle for movie times and other errata.. And I use Feedly for RSS stuff.
@rww Yes . I use iGoogle as startpage and still enjoy it.
@rww i use igoogle only when my wife is travelling so i can stalk her with the little lattitude app.
@rww Not for years - was Google for long time, but now closest I have to a start page is Chrome's home
@rww blank start page. Quick load is the main reason.
@rww Yes, IGoogle, but most of the times I skip right past it to a specific site.
@rww absolutely not. I have 4 start tabs - meebo, gmail, greader and yFinance
@rww 1. myYahoo 2. netvibes 3. iGoogle - based on initial investment and inability to easily port my settings
@rww Tried Netvibes and iGoogle. Start pages have never been able to keep my attention. Prefer Safari's opening page of 12 fav sites. Useful
@rww Use my own html page with links to frequently used sites. It is much more compact and loads way faster!
@rww no, never have liked any of them enough
@rww igoogle but default home is most visited thumbnail view
@rww I use iGoogle as my start page, i like having a brief overlook of some feeds while using Fever° for my actual RSS feeds.
@rww Used Netvibes for years, but now I just stick with the Chrome startup screen
@rww I am using iGoogle on start page because it has not any advertise in start page.
@rww of course, @techmeme
@rww Startpage: reading the news and going to gmail and Google reader first every time I start laptop. IGoogle thus.
@rww my "start page" is Tweet Deck
@rww not for a long time. Browser opens last opened tabs and syncs across machines.
@rww Nope. I just Google search whatever in the bar in Chrome or hip up any number of bookmarks. Start page = slow load.
@rww Leave default setting. I tend to open multiple tabs, in multiple browsers, so don't pay attention to start page.
@rww yup! At least the dashboard you create in iGoogle has the most important things at first glance. It's up to you how to enrich it
@rww My start is 8 tabs: Gmail, Google Reader, Fb, Outlook Web Access, iGoogle for bookmark collections, my own site, RTM, Read It Later
@rww I start with 'about:blank' and then go to the first site that comes to mind which is usually @techmeme or Fever
@rww never have. Too much noise. Yet I love Twitter ....
