Perusing personal pages

There are some very special web pages that allow you to customise them so that you get exactly the use that you need out of them. Two of these are Quickbrowse and PTV.

Grab quickbrowse at http://www.quickbrowse.com/, you can access the most fantastic personalised web site around. In a simple, and free, registration process you can tell this wonderful website to scour your favourite sites and bring the content to your desktop. You type in the URLs that you want to see into a form and then every time you log on to the site, it remembers who you are. It then automatically searches for the websites and brings the string of all the sites in one long page. The simplest idea, this saves time, effort and page-load frustration and brings you all your content in an easy to digest single page. An enthralling touch is the list of constantly changing quotations from famous business people, mostly made up of famous gaffes.
