My Yahoo, MovieFlix, and Blinkxx

Customizing the MY YAHOO page was fun. The Titanium background is easy on the eyes because it hides some of the box outlines. My husband customized our our home Yahoo account, so that we can see the weather where our daughters live, etc. However, I would rather skip the My Yahoo page and go immediately into the email page. I wish we could add the weather and calendar boxes to our email pages, but I was able to change the color settings on the email page.

I looked at the lists of movies and commercials available on MOVIE FLIX and registered with the site. Most of them seemed like old, rather minor movies. But Windows Media Player wouldn't play them, and I didn't want to download a special media player just to try out this site.

BLINXX seems like a smaller, more focused search engine than Yahoo or Google. You select a category, and it lists websites without all the graphics or extra advertising and popups that Yahoo has. But it also doesn't provide any extra information about sites the way Yahoo and Google do.
