Start Pages and Groups Fitting Meet

An interesting conversation began yesterday over on Franck Poission’s site. It hasn’t gone far yet but here’s the principle behind it.
Startpages are a natural way for people to surf the web but also for content hodlers to serve an audience. So ESPN’s move into start pages is good.
Along comes entrepreneur Emre Sokullu, who is building a new groups application, and says this:
“I think startpages are everywhere. For instance, in Grou.ps, we offer a feature called PermaHome, which gives users a custom view of their grou.p, it’s like Webwag, Netvibes or PageFlakes. It’s still very primitive though.
But we consider outsourcing this to startpages like you. So users will just click on “export this to webwag”, they’ll be redirected your web site, and their grou.p will be yet another tab of their startpage.”
Sounds right to me.
