Add a Wiki, Bloglines or Technorati to Your Start Page

I have been playing a lot with Windows Live and the Google Personalized Home Page. I find these sites incredibly useful for aggregating content that I don't need cached. News, weather, and sports are a natural fit for these start pages. I used to keep these feeds on My Yahoo but I have ditched it in favor of my personalized Google page. I still use Bloglines or Newsgator for all my other feeds.  But thanks to their extensibility you can combine all of these sites on one page.

One tool that I added to my start page over the weekend that I am now totally addicted to is Bitty Browser. If you add Bitty Browser to your personalized page and then set it up to load a mobile version of a site, you have a powerful tool you can use right on your home page without ever leaving it. I have programmed my Bitty Browser to load my personal Socialtext Miki - a mobile wiki. This puts a wiki right on my home page. I have also tested this with Bloglines Mobile, Newsgator Mobile, Technorati Mobile and Backpack Mobile and it works beautifully. For more, see the screen grabs below. Give it a go. All you need is the mobile version of your favorite site.
