Protopage makes for a fine start page
December 26, 2005 by Mike Wendland
Web sites that try to suck you into making them your home page have been around for years and I’ve never found one compelling enough to cause me to even consider their offer. Except for a new one I found over the weekend. It has no ads, offers total customization and, for now, anyway, has caused me to hit the tools/options settings in my browser and make it my start page. Try it. You may, too. Link: Protopage offers RSS news feeds, sticky notes and bookmarks It works with both Macs and Windows browers.
I’ve used Buzzflash.com for my start page for a long time. None of all that stuff that most offer–weather, sports, etc.––but lots of links to recent news articles and no ads.
I have been using My.Yahoo as my home page for years. All the news, sports, weather, TV listings, stocks, all my favorite bookmarks, 30mb briefcase storage for files and pictures, and access to my other pop3 accounts when I am away from home. Accessable from any browser and platform with access it the Internet. Best of all, it is still FREE!
