I like uncluttered, simple screen displays that load quickly, so I tried to access Eskobo because it sounded like what I would like to use for my homepage but it kept redirecting me to the popular Netvibes. After a few tries and failures, I gave up and did create my homepage in Netvibes. Perhaps they've merged.
I added the gmail I use for this on-line class as well as USA News Today and weather but I already see these when I go to my real Yahoo mail.
What I'd really like to use it for is to keep all of my web links to teaching references all in one spot. Right now they are in a variety of digital and non-digital forms and places. I could see that this might be the tool for this. I would just need to know if my homepage can be accessed from the school site. Also, I would use it as a central bank where I can link to YouTube clips and Discovery streaming videos that I could use with the students.
Good ideas -- I know that I can access my Igoogle page from school but I'm not sure about netvibes -- that will be something to check out. Check out Delicious in an upcoming "Thing" - I think you will like it for organizing your web links and it can be added to your homepage.
