If you’re looking for a page to start your travels on the Internets each time you log on, try Netvibes.com. It takes a while to customize, but when you do you get your favorite RSS feeds and widgets all recently updated on one page, plus special apps for Gmail, del.icio.us and Twitter.

Pageflakes has a slightly prettier look (which makes it slower) and makes it easy for anyone to set up a customized public page (Netvibes “Universes” are still for the big organizations) and Google Reader is faster for full article reading, but as a start page Netvibes is the site of the moment.
