I agree about the little things, Marshall. They might ’seem’ little but they really add a LOT of functionality.

I remember the days of black and white (some were green and white) monitors. I simply could not go back to that – color really is important!

The first time I saw red and blue on my ‘dumb’ mainframe terminal I thought I had died and gone to heaven! ;)

I like Netvibes but am interested in trying out YourMinis more. I wish everyone supported OPML export, YourMinis does I believe. What I really want is the simple functionality that can be found at OriginalSignal – mark items new since my last visit in a different color. It’s a little thing but saves so much time! I haven’t found a configurable startpage that will do that for me :(

My homepage tabs are: 1) my personal blog, 2) my b5media blog, 3) my Google calendar, and 4) my NewsgatorOnline RSS reader.

Some load faster than others but I have a fast connection so nothing takes too terribly long.

[...] March 3rd, 2007 Cathy Perkins asked about which start page people use. Officially my Firefox start page is blank. But normally Google’s Browser Sync will restart two tabs for my new sessions: Google Mail, and Google Reader, plus whatever other tabs of sites I was working on recently, or want to go back to in the near future.

I leave mine blank. Like you said, it’s faster and easier. The first site I usually visit is my personalised Google homepage though.
