Shame

What alternatives are you guys using ? I currently use netvibes, but I am not too happy. The font is way too small and non-configurable....

Before iGoogle I used my.yahoo.com. Not really tempted at going back though it does still exist (and apparently never changed, 7 years later).

How about a site-specific CSS to set the fontage? If that's your main issue with the site it should be a quick fix.

Or just set your browser to ignore sites' font specifications. Less eye-strain that way in general.

Wow it's been at least 6 years I haven't heard about Netvibes. It was a so-called Web 2.0 pioneer. Is it still out there? Let me check my account..

If you haven't learned to not use a Google product that isn't core to their revenue stream in the year 2013, I don't know what to tell you.

It actually got an update recently and looks cool. I don't use it though.
