Netvibes puts everything you need on one web page, in neat little boxes that you can rearrange, reposition and rejigger to your heart's content. Display your email, weather, top stories from your favorite news sites and the latest posts from your favorite blogs; direct links are embedded within. User-created modules are listed in the "Ecosystem" public directory, and are available free for you to drag and drop into your own page. (You can make your own modules available to other Netvibers by clicking the share button next to the editing toolkit.) There's a general Web search box as well as a video search box, which pools keyword search results from YouTube, Metacafe, Google's video search engine and MySpace. To repopulate it, just click the refresh button. The Email wizard that synchs up with Gmail in a snap, but if you have Yahoo Mail it has to be a POP3 enabled account (which is not free). Hotmail, AOL and .Mac email accounts link up easily too. Honorable mention: Pageflakes.
