online work I do. Everything I need sits there,
including most of the rest of this list...
Mags Amond
- In 2008 this took over as my default browser
homepage. I have several tabs with lots of widgets, but
the key ones for me are Google Bookmarks, Weather,
Google Search, and Search Wikipedia. Most others are
rotating quotes or images, stuff that is "for fun"
mostly. Thomas Stone

minute by minute throughout the day. It has
links to my calendar, my most used bookmarks,
weather and news and a Twitter app. It really
does function like a virtual desk, and is
available wherever I am working."

information."

"Keeping pace with
information is a
major challenge so
my first choice is a
technology that
drives what I look
at every day when I
open my browser –
RSS feeds. My RSS
feeds are set up

you can use any
number of readers. I
love the fact I can
set up RSS feeds for
news and issues I
want to track."

my home page."
