Hey just wondering what peoples opinions on the web portals that are about at the moment are.

I have tried Googles, MS Live and Yahoos, i like googles because i can access my gmail and i find the feeds easy to add and access, Live has an built in news reader which is pretty nice to use. Yahoo has a nice layout but it is too rigid for me, I cannot add news feeds to the smaller columns.

Have you tried any others? Good/bad experiences with those mentioned?

As soon as I use it more than a few times these portals start to annoy me.
I've used Yahoo, Ilse (dutch) and google. Google even with ./ news but those news things are always lagging behind. Everytime I get the feed on the portal I go "hmmm, read that 2 hours ago allready. Bah".

And in the long run it annoys me too much.

I know where to get my news and information. And all of these sites are inside a button on my top-panel so with 1 click I have firefox open with all those sites (while the others load I read the 1st one).

Yes, I do try them but no thanks.
