I do not find customized homepages useful. I've explored using Google's homepage as well as hotmail's version in the past. However, there is just so much information overload. I have found the site delicious.com is one of my favorites as an efficiency tool. Primarily because I have so many online access pages with different long logins, that I cannot remember all of the long web addresses to access them.
I especially like the features for bookmarking favorite pages of interest. I've traveled back and forth to my fiance's house to my parent's home, to my work computer, and I always seem to want the bookmark I saved on a different computer. As far as productivity sites for storing documents, I'm still a bit leery. I have a portable hard drive with approx 10MB of memory I carry around in my purse to download my photography and transfer documents from one computer to another.
As far as the online calendar and list makers are concerned, it would be nice to have access to these at any time, however I live by Outlook at work... And I enjoy leaving Outlook at work when I go home. I don't own a fancy Blackberry or Iphone, and its not because I don't believe in the technology, but more that I need a break from it. My fiance has a Blackberry for work, and he gets everything sent there... His work email, home email, outlook calendar, address book, text messages, GPS, the list goes on and on.... I like to maintain some feeling of separation between work and play. I fear using one of these types of products would only result in my dependence upon them.
I did post a countdown clock to my blog.. I used one of these previously on my photography website to advertise an upcoming art show I was attending.
