I waste time checking out 15 websites each day . . .
. . . and, therefore, I'm not sure what I'm looking for here, but something like iGoogle I think.
I want a single webpage I can have as my homepage which collects stuff from the 15 or more websites I visit on an almost daily basis. I guess something like the cut-and-paste webpage widget in Leopard, but which you can use within a normal site? I believe that iGoogle only has its own widgets and RSS feeds?
Am I making any sense here? Does something like this exist?
Andrew

IF all these websites have RSS feeds, why not put these in Mail? It saves you a lot of time and actually makes you bored of the net

If a page has RSS feeds you can add it it iGoogle
Click on 'Add Stuff" then on the far left click the "add feed or gadget" link. Stick in the URL of the website and google will check to see if there an RSS link, e.g. for MacTalk you would type in "http://www.mactalk.com.au/"

I guess the RSS thing doesn't do it for me. I'd like something that I can get a 'snapshot' of a particular front page . . . . like the Leopard widget enables . . .
