Favoor, a personalized Homepage service

Lately, it seems that the new popular type of web services are the so called personalized homepages which let users add RSS feeds, links, notes, widgets, search and more. These services usually also use AJAX (or Flash in the case of Goowy) to provide an interactive experience and move these widgets around. The latest entry into the (quickly becoming crowded) market is called Favoor. I had the chance to play around with it a bit, and enjoyed the ease of use and quick page loads, but was a little disappointed by the lack of widget types available. Basically, you can only add RSS feeds, links (and folders of links), and sticky notes currently, though I’m sure that in order to stay competitive, Favoor will add others in the future. One night feature which other personalized homepages don’t offer is the ability to change the theme of your page, though there is no option to select one from a list - you’ll just have to hit the themes button until you come upon one you like. Favoor is available for free (registration required) and in both English and German. Can't find what you're looking for? Try Google Search!
