Now, I'm afraid, I really don't have a "personal portal". I mostly used the aforementioned pages for tracking RSS feeds. I'd futz around with the occasional Sudoku widget or maybe a local weather deal, but it was mostly about reading my feeds. Once Google Reader redid their UI, I was hooked. Now, my homepage is Blingo (the Publishers Clearing House frontend for Google where you can win stuff), but I rarely visit it directly. Instead of having a one-stop page with all of my stuff, I mostly just keep 8 or so tabs open in firefox all the time (mail, reader, meebo, feedburner, del.icio.us, flickr, and my snazzy GTD blog linked above). I guess I've just never looked back since abandoning the idea of a single start page. Though, if I ever switch to a digital-based GTD system (and stikkit might just do the trick, to be honest), it'd probably be there. Love the new blog, keep it up!

It's customizable, and has lots of links of interest already there. They also update several times a year. I’ve used HotSheet for years.
