Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”

Interesting, all of you!

I think care should be taken in choosing the page, bc you see it daily, esp in the morning before checking email, etc.

I need a new one,
Ideally it would be positive, progressive in focus,
with some relation to global events, and with daily turnover of content.

Already tried traditional news,
had NYTimes main page as my homepage, but it's quite negative, then switched to NYTimes arts, but that's not so positive either.. but both seem better than CNN

Though I kind of like connecting to the global flow of events a bit.
or maybe, from a productivity standpoint, a blank page would be okay for now. hm.

Quick loading time...

Guess you could also install phpdev and use localhost if you want to make something.

Try Google

Its a customizable homepage, on my main page I have Google Calendar, Google Notebook, Google Reader, Gmail, Wikipedia Search Bar, Weather and my bookmarks all on that page, and on another tab I have a bunch of news feeds from most of my favorite big sites.


There are also a bunch of different types of these...pageflakes, netvibes or YouOS (which I hate) but I like the google one cause its simple and googles apps are usually ahead of the curve. If they can make Google Docs blog interface as good as the flock browsers, then thats all I need

You can edit and move all the feeds around. I am not sure if you can add individual feeds, but you could use Google Reader if you wanted obscure feeds. I should look into that, heh.

127.0.0.1

I'm afraid even then it's not very interesting. It has links to all of my test websites, but nothing too exciting. Perhaps one day I'll change it to Netvibes.

google.com/ig

I keep 5 to-do lists, my calendar/agenda, weather, email and some bookmarks I visit on a daily basis on the front page. I just wish google notepad would work in Opera.

As per a post on this forum I've set mine to Google Homepage with a todo list (with my top items), calendar and date. It's amazing how many of the activities on that list I'm getting done without thinking about it!

My site Love and Marriage | Dating & Relationships: Kloudiia’s Kit: Dating Affairs

Just to make sure it's up and running

P.S Oh and isn't it so coincidental that I'm posting a reply talking about my own site to celebrate my 300th post in this forum?

One browser is set to my blog's admin screen so I can go right into writing a post without getting distracted. The other is set to my printer's main site for my business so I can go check on orders quickly without getting sucked into something else (hopefully ).
