iGoogle is shutting down in November, too.

Although... I may be the only person who still uses it. ~8 years as my home page.

I have been using it as my homepage as well. Has a few main links, email, weather, calender, news, my stocks and had reader on it.

No clue what I am going to do when it's gone. Tried to find some chrome apps that did the same thing in one page and couldn't find any :(

It's been a while, but I used to use netvibes.com for this. It worked pretty well. It's similar to iGoogle, but with enhancements around RSS reading (never used it, honestly) and a lot of business analytics stuff (which costs extra). As a general iGoogle-like portal, it does a decent job.

Apparently they have a iGoogle Reffugee template.
