The real estate listings like you, Michelle. We’ve been looking for a house for three years, and I suspect after we finally buy one, I’ll still look just out of curiosity.

Hi. I got the page. Thanks. I think.

I agree that content aggregator sites like MyYahoo and iGoogle are great tools, and good time wasters. I recently updated my MyYahoo page and could get myself into some serious trouble if I put anything else on it. I’m a New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle fan, but I limit myself to one a week – otherwise I would really never get any work done.

I love my iGoogle page. In addition to online newspapers and gadgets that help me such as an exchange rate calculator and metric conversion tool, I have several television/spoiler feeds, celebrity gossip site feeds, my horoscope, and crossword puzzles on it that I use to take a break.

I also really like StumbleUpon (http://www.stumbleupon.com/)
