I love the look, but it has become a pain to keep it updated.
Let me just say that any personalized start page requires a bit of work - constantly.
That’s pretty obvious.
If you prefer an extremely simple, yet stylish start page, giveAwesomeStarta try.
Great plus: no need to sign up!

I found it too challenging to even try.
They are all pretty much the same, but Pageflakes left me with the best overall impression.
initiate the menu and make a selection.
it’s possible for you to import your bookmarks from Del.icio.us, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
There definitely is potential for addiction in Pageflakes.
They should be the focus, not the side dish.
So let’s have a look atTabmarks.
You start out with a selection of ten default tabs, i.e.
categories for your bookmarks.
That’s also the maximum number of tabs you might add to one tabmark.
Below each tab is a list of links belonging to that tab and this list can be personalized.
choose a link and it opens underneath the tabs.
To make some space, you’ve got the option to hide the tabs.
you’re free to personalize tabs through the Library, not through Preferences!
It’s not quite what I was looking for.
Rather than a plain text link I would love to see a little preview image of my bookmark.
Also I can still open links in a new tab if I wish using the middle-mouse click in Firefox.

Finally, attentive MUO readers will recall that Linda has written a similar post back in February.
InAggregate your Favorite Websites on One Pageshe wrote aboutAllMyFavesandSymbaloo.
I found AllMyFaves quite overwhelming.
There are way too many icons and logos on one page to handle and it’s not yet customizable.
Symbaloo on the other hand is pretty neat with an adorable style and allows for some customization.
