Welcome to Your New Start Page

fav4

Simple.  Useful.  Brilliant.

Start pages are a dime a dozen, but considering how many times you open a new tab every day, it's nice to have something attractive to look at. Web site Fav4.org is a minimal start page that's easy on the eyes.

The default four sites are the four you see above—Facebook, Flickr, Gmail, and Twitter—but you can customize your Fav4.org start page with a number of different popular sites (though we can think of at least one blog that, ahem, appears to be missing). Click the site settings link in the lower-right corner of the window to adjust your favorites or suggest a site you'd like added. There's not much to it beyond that. It's lightweight and attractive. My main feature wish: keyboard shortcuts for launching your favorites.
