Myself I’m a netvibes guy … but protopage has released a new version of their frontpage…

The new feed reader auto-detects feeds which only provide headlines and summaries, and displays them in an “article summaries” mode (try it for a feed such as CNN.com). It also uniqely remembers and orders your news feeds according to the frequency with which you read them.

now i’m not sure about the security ramifications here .. but if you need something quick and easy this may fit the bill.

JS-Kit is a free service that will add comment functionality to any page you paste it into.

As you might have guessed from the name, it’s a JavaScript solution that automatically fetches the comments for a page from the JS-Kit server when the page loads. Comments are threaded and are posted via Ajax without having to leave or reload the page.
