Recommend me a new home page

[positivedoppler]

For the past 1 trillion years, it's been yahoo.com for me. But lately I can't stand the gizzillions of pictures and javascripts that spawns from every major link I click on sports, weather, news, etc... I looked around a bit tonight tried aol, bing, and google. Aside of those, any recommendations?

I've had PacBell, ATT, ATT/Yahoo for my home page since the mid-90's. (even though I haven't had their internet service in several years)
Their most recent change in appearance is the worst one yet.
While I LIKE having some of the customizable features, (various local news feeds, weather, etc) the new style and layout... is a real "buzz killer" for me.

Time to find a new place to hang my hat.

I want my page to open fast. I get new feeds in Thundrbird, and have weather in my statusbar. I don't need some trash autoselected for the lowest common denominator wasting bandwidth and time when I open my home page.

 

[BoomerD]

Fuck that. I want a home page that I can customize with local news feeds, local weather, some national news, and maybe a few other tidbits of garbage.

Digg.com?

 

[positivedoppler]

Digg and Duck are nice, but what would seal the deal would be something that replicates the old yahoo style sports page. Easy to scroll through standing , stats, and game results without the 1001 pictures. I almost think that developers of some of those format sets back in their office, tries out those page in the start of the art i7 with a terabyte of ram without any consideration for the rest of us that still use 3 year old computers.

Real men have a blank home page

 

[IronWing]

Make your own home page on your own computer. That was the original concept for home pages. Each user would make a local page with the links they want. No ads, no scripts (unless you want them).

I like the Chrome Apps for a homepage as it allows me shortcuts to many things like Youtube, Google Music, Maps, etc. as soon as I open a new tab. Do any news-type homepages allow you to add your own shortcuts?

Which Chrome App are you using? I'm using Awesome New Tab Page, but it has some problems.

Just the default: chrome://apps/ (need to use extension called New Tab Redirect) in order to do it for all new tabs.

What's wrong with yours? I will give it a go.

I don't know what's going on at Yahoo, but the new MyYahoo page layout is horrendous, and the email has more suckage too.

It crashes occasionally for reasons I have not yet figured out.

I swear I was just thinking about this site yesterday.

Another one from that era was the diary of Robot Frank... (robot-frank.com) which is dead, but it appears he started a facebook page:
