I do not usually use specific home pages, I use Flock browser, so I get “My World” page which does all what I need. But if you usually set a Home Page in your browser, and if you have couple or more websites you like to have as home pages WhatPage.org is what you need.
After you signup and login you enter to your list page, where you can add upto 100 URL’s to be your homepages. You can order them the way you want to. You are given one link to use as your homepage in your browser. After setting your browser, everytime you open your browser or click the “HOME” icon you are sent to a new URL from your list.
What is nice about this service is that it is hassle free, and has no ads and you simply do not need to install anything. But for those who use firefox it is very simple to set multiple Home Pages. I guess nowadays I rarely see people have more than one main start page. Most of the people I know either rely on start pages such as iGoogle, Netvibes and Pageflakes or rely on the sorts of “My World” in Flock browser, or simply reload last browsing session
Who is hosting this allows you to know who is hosting any website, simply enter the URL of the website you want to find out who is hosting it and they will give you the answer instantly. They claim that they are right 98% of the time. Although looks very simple, and although there are tons of websites out there related to webhosting and domains, I never saw a website that can strictly just answer “Who is hosting this website?”.
As you know there is a number of social news/bookmarking websites such as Reddit, Digg, Del.icio.us and StumbleUpon. People share articles, websites, photos, videos and so on. Digg already announced that they will be having a special section only for images but it still didnt happen.
Here comes PICURLS, basically this website pulls all the top photos of the day from Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Flickr, Simpy, Furl, Boing Boing and Wired. You can also subscribe to the RSS feeds for the pictures from each website or from all of the websites.
But PICURLS still have space for improvement, the 2 main drawbacks that i can see is that there is no community, none of the images has any comments, at least for the past few days, all what i can see is the number “0″ beside each image. The second thing is that when you click on the link it sends you to the source not the page of the website such as Digg and Reddit, i am not if this being done out of fear that maybe Digg or Reddit wont allow this to happen.
Anyway, in general this is a very nice website, and one day it could become something if it kept on developing.
Firefox 3 skins will fit the visual appearance of the OS its being used on, so if you are using Windows Vista it will look something like IE7. Am not sure if this visual integration is a good thing or not, I donno but i guess we just got used to how firefox looks. But I wonder how they would do this with linux, with all those flavours out there.
Of-course there is allot of new features, a new rendering engine, a new way to organize your bookmarks, different sets of icons of each OS, but what i am really looking forward is a new feature where you can navigate to a bookmark or a history item by typing part of the name or URL.
I do not usually use specific home pages, I use Flock browser, so I get “My World” page which does all what I need. But if you usually set a Home Page in your browser, and if you have couple or more websites you like to have as home pages WhatPage.org is what you need.
