Nowsy: The new Ajax home page

Founded in the Netherlands, Nowsy does have something unique about it. It's an Ajax home page with features from start-ups like Netvibes and Pageflakes (plus Google IG and ten others that haven't yet raised money).

Nowsy doesn't have the flashy features of Netvibes or Pageflakes, but it does have a lot of basic features. Easy to add modules based on RSS feeds, you can customize the drag, pull and delete functions of your favorite pages, as well as simple new page creation functions and more.

There's one feature that Nowsy does that's different from other services, and it's smart. They've added a search box at the top of the page that handles all the services in all the modules on a page when you type in a search term (I'm guessing they're retrieving feeds from their own servers for later searches). If you've already added your favorite URL to Nowsy, you'll find this search feature useful.
