Thanks for sharing. As with Paul’s offering, I looked in vain for an “about” page to tell me a bit more – about the product, about who is behind it. Not saying you have to provide this, just sharing with you that it’s something I look for when I haven’t seen a product or service before. Also, the blogspot link produces a blogger status page which is not helpful. I had to go to the home site to discover the blog site.
Anyway, best wishes with Odysen.

A couple of the key differences include 1) the ability to integrate as many news feeds as you want into one widget (saving space, being more efficient) and 2) free-formatting widgets, allowing you to change the size of the widget to whatever you feel is most appropriate to the content.

There is also a blog available for feature updates and page examples at http://odysen.blogspot.com.

Thanks. Is this your product? I could not find an “about” link on the site. My hunch from looking at the home page is that this would be of more interest to “visual” people than to tex-oriented people like me. I’m reluctant to sign up for new apps where I can’t see who is behind them and a bit of their story. Maybe that’s just something the author(s) hasn’t got around to rather than a desire to be mysterious?

Find what you’re looking for by flipping through pictures rather than by scanning a list of text entries.

Just try Web2Wave http://www.web2wave.com

Web2Wave Cover Flow-style interfaces provide an easy and fun way to sort through large volumes of information and find the piece you want at any given time.

I have used MyYahoo for ages but lately I have been getting so fed up with it… Earlier this week I spent some time searching for a replacement, but I must not have been searching for the right terms (portal, startpage?) because I couldn’t find anything. Your post was exactly what I was looking for, a detailed warts-and-all comparison of the top products. I appreciate it!
