  If you're in New Zealand, and you just want a boring old quick link start page, try http://www.kiwihomepage.co.nz/

  Exhaustive analysis. Good work.
  Apparently the French scene is pretty active of start pages. A new start-up recently appeared on the radar: http://www.personall.fr/. They use this web 2.0 tool to build personalized intranets.

  I started using Netvibes (Ginger) recently, and I'm absolutely blown away by it's content options, interactive design, and it's incredibly clean look. Personally, I don't think that iGoogle or Live.com come close to comparison.

  Another start page to consider is Odysen at http://www.odysen.com.
  
  A couple of the key differences include 1) the ability to integrate as many news feeds as you want into one widget (saving space, being more efficient) and 2) free-formatting widgets, allowing you to change the size of the widget to whatever you feel is most appropriate to the content.
  
  There is also a blog available for feature updates and page examples at http://odysen.blogspot.com.

  Actually, I prefer Pageflakes. To each his/her own. But I'm sticking with Pageflakes. :)
