Symbaloo: A new on-ramp to the Internet
Here is a really simple starting page for just about anything online. iGoogle is too detailed for you? Then try Symbaloo.

Symbaloo aims to be the most simple start on the web.

The key page for Symbaloo is its "start" page that is an interactive set of 60 block. Each block is either pre-defined with a hot button or ready to be defined by you. Click on one of these hot buttons and you are transported from Symbaloo to the service you have chosen - nothing much revolutionary there.

However, you can define each block yourself by dragging and dropping. Don't want a block, then simply pick it up and drop it as trash.

Click on any block and a new content window pops up. Listed on these pop up windows are bookmarks, search modules, News Feedslinks, widgets and radio. Choose from any of the content feeds, or name your own and you have a new block on your start window.

Need more than one start window? You can define a second desktop.

As pointed out in Mashable, in the article "Symbaloo is a Search Start Page", Symbaloo does not use "accounts". One can configure Symbaloo on the current computer you are using but then if you go to work, or to an Internet cafe you have to start from square one again. So if you are mobile like me without using a laptop, Symbaloo is not for you.

Otherwise, it is great as a starting page each day.
