Looking for a good Home Page

[Wingznut]

I'm looking for a Home Page that:

• Displays news headlines
• Displays stock prices
• Is customizable (for my tastes)
• Loads fairly quickly

Right now I use MSN, which pretty much sucks... Do any of you guys use one that fits my wants?

Yeah... But it sucks.

Try Excite.com.

www.yahoo.com.
incredibly customizable, includes everything and the kitchen sink! right now my home page contains:

word of the day
dictionary look-up
weather
news - financial, cycling, and global
stock quotes on my portfolio
current lowest airfare to the 6 cities i visit
phone book
yellow pages
map look-up
email
bookmarks

btw, you can also install the yahoo companion bar and get your bookmarks as a pulldown. i no longer store bookmarks on one machine, i save 'em all at yahoo & they are available on any computer - as is all my email! yahoo rocks!

btw, yahoo is much better than excite - i tried excite for a while and finally went back to yahoo.

if you don't need portable bookmarks, try myway.com. many of the same features but no adds and no pop-ups. if myway ever get's bookmarks on their toolbar i'll be switching to them.

Interesting... I never thought of that.

about:blank has always been my personal favorite.

DELETED is a close second.

Have a great two weeks off
