Netvibes

Having the dashboard that I created is helpful for checking my email, keeping track of the things I need to do using a to-do list, and checking the course blog for this class all at once, without clicking on the links in my Favorites one by one.  I also like the ability to have a personalized theme and the ability to change the colors and arrangement of the widgets.  My glowing approval of this site, however, may be biased by the fact that I haven't searched for any other dashboard sites that could potentially be better that Netvibes and change my present opinion.
