Personal Startup Webpages

As we know, Nowadays there are lot of websites which provide Personalized Startup pages. The list increases with iGoogle, My Yahoo, Pageflakes, Netvibes etc. I tried using them and I found Pageflakes as very useful one. The UI looks very sleek. It allows us to select the themes for every tab. We can check multiple email accounts at a single page. We can read multiple emagazines in a single page. We can view multiple RSS feeds in a single page. I used to view the Job Openings in multiple Job sites - Dice, Monster, Careerbuilder in a single page by using their RSS XML configured in Pageflakes.
Another interesting thing about Pageflakes is that it was architected by a young guy Omar Al Zabir. He have also created a sample web site with the same concept - dropthings.com. He have also authored a book on How to create a Web2.0 Portal using ASP.NET 3.5. Nice one to read.
