I hope to clean it up a bit more and then officially announce it either today or tomorrow. That took surprisingly less effort than expected.

You have to make it yourself. I'm still undecided on sites like Gizmodo et al. On the one hand some of their posts are really interesting or entertaining, on the other hand I think their quality would go up a lot if making money wasn't their first objective.

Check out these posts from Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/software/homepage/alpha-geek-start+page-showdown-246843.php Netvibes seems to be the favorite due to it's customability: http://lifehacker.com/software/netvibes/alpha-geek-trick-out-your-netvibes-248671.php Or maybe you're just following more than really is necessary? I mean, if most of the news isn't of any real interest, then why bother returning? Of course there's always that chance you could miss that one really interesting topic, but does it really matter at the end of the day? That's at least the question I ask myself when I'm adding a news site to my (small) list of sites that i frequent these days. On that note, I follow: Gizmodo - gadgets! and more gadgets! Lifehacker - for my daily tweakage Kotaku - for my gaming news ....and that's all i really have time for. Clearly I'm biased with the Gawker crew, but I enjoy their blogs, so why change? actually, there are websites currently out there similar in practice to what you’re looking to do.
