IGoogle is going away soon-No Fear Replacements are here!

There are many of you that have come to rely on IGoogle as your go to place when you first get your web browser up and running for the day.  With the news that IGoogle will shut down soon, you have numerous alternatives as reported through CNet Australia here, I would have to say that IGHome is probably the most suitable with regards to ease of use and no real need to learn much. 

Techsupportalert also reports on their top 6 here, which include a few of the same.

Personally speaking, with the ability to use the built in Google Apps page and quite simply Google News I don't see any real advantage to any one website placing nothing more than shortcut/links being that beneficial but then that's just me. I think getting familiar with the Google Apps will make all the difference in your web browsing experience so if you want to learn a few things, check out the Google Apps Tutorial here.
