According to the creators of Grazr (which came onto the market in March 2006), it is a “free and easy way to gather and organize information from all over the Web. Use our drag and drop editor to collect feeds and links to Web pages, and then share them with others on this site, or place them on your own pages with our free widget.” In addition, it has the ability to read twitters. “The Grazr Twitter Reader is the [...]

Today marks the launch of FrostFireHive, a customizable, personal start page service.
This new service is entering a crowded arena, with competition from existing services such as iGoogle, NetVibes, and PageFlakes, all of which seem to have more features and more options than FrostFireHive currently offers.
The main goal of this free homepage service seems to be to make the process as simple and easy as possible. Will it be enough to help the service stand out though?

If you’re one of the lucky few to win an iPhone through our blogging competition here on Profy, or a US-based consumer who fell under Infinite Loop’s spell and laid down some hefty coin to have one as your own, you likely want to know about all the virtual places you can go to get the most out of your multi-touch miracle.
Actually, scratch that. You probably already do know of all such locales. Well, in that case, how about we [...]

We’re in an era of immense media saturation, so much so that millions of Netizens understandably opt to filter the countless feeds available down to select lists of top choices, in order to avoid a barrage of information where one would undoubtedly exist if selectivity could not be had.
We may, however, be seeing the downside of excessive filtration, at least in terms of the number of venues offering personalization. The number of these aggregation and filtration utilities is high, and [...]

Zude is the mashup of all mashups. It allows you to create websites with incredible ease that hasn?t been seen before. This is thanks to their technology that allows you to drag and drop basically any content from any site right onto the page you?re creating. Content includes pictures, videos, widgets, and just about anything else you?d want to take with you from various sites. Zude also allows you the control to take the content you?ve added to the page and [...]

It’s almost impossible to find everything you want on the web. Comments made by a couple of folks in response to a recent article (authored by myself) prove that theory handily. By the way, guys, thanks for the tips.
The comments to “What Makes a Start Page” highlighted the lack of a mention of two exceptional products I managed to overlook while researching for the piece: Protopage, one of the first Web 2.0-compliant sites out there; and Webwag, a lesser-known but [...]

Review: Megite RSS aggregator service. The ability to read ALL your feeds on one website everyday.
I find explaining RSS and feeds to a newbie is as confusing and frustrating as explaining what the Internet was to everyone back in 1994. What is it? How does it work? How is it different than a webpage (or back then, using CompuServe?). One of the causes of this confusion is how people read RSS feeds. Some use their browsers (Safari, Firefox and the [...]

Start pages have been around since the days of baud modems and cheap 28-56k dial-up access. In the early 90’s, the first thing to show up after you double-clicked on those pixilated Netscape, IE, or Mosaic icons was [most likely] a portal of some kind, loading at strenuously slow rates, giving you html in all its plain-spoken glory. Maybe with a few faint traces of basic Java thrown in.

Do you know that feeling… searching the internet for hours only to find your information in bits and pieces at various locations? Most people google and click on the answers Google gives you on their first page.

For business users there now is a very useful tool named Netvibes and it is [...]
