Yahoo has officially rolled out its updated personal start page to all My Yahoo! users. My Yahoo! 2.0 has been in beta for the last year or so. But now there's no more annoying little beta label, and users can't switch back to the classic page anymore. If you don't see the new page when you login, just wait a few days. According to PC Magazine Yahoo! plans to migrate all users by July 14th.

So what's new in My Yahoo! 2.0?

• Modules are easier to reorganize and modify thanks to a drag and drop interface
• There are new custom-designed modules with content from partners like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal
• New modules add support for third party services like Netflix, Gmail, Facebook and POP mail
• New page layout options

The new page is also available now for users in additional countries including Asustralia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the UK.

It's been a while since we've seen a compelling new browser start page. There was a real flurry of start pages a year or two ago when the likes of Google Personalized Start Page (now iGoogle), NetVibes, Pageflakes, and a myriad of other copycat sites launched. Strangely, even with such an amazing variety of start pages to choose from, we've never found any of them to be particularly compelling.

Then we were introduced to Feedly. Feedly is a start page that only works in Firefox, because it requires a Firefox browser extension to run. It's actually a locally hosted page that goes out and grabs information feed reader sites and social networks that you use, and presents it to you in a friendly magazine style layout.

Feedly can go through your Firefox bookmarks, as well as your My Yahoo! page, NetVibes, Bloglines, Twitter, FriendFeed, Yahoo! Mail, and Gmail accounts to find relevant information to present to you. If we can offer one tip, it would be to choose carefully. When setting up our page, we checked every possible option, and ended up with far too many feeds, and too many feeds that we had lost interest in that were still in some account somewhere that Feedly found.

Feedly also has a very tight integration with Google Reader, and anything that you read in Feedly will be marked as read in Google Reader, and vice versa. This is cool, but it's also dangerous, since and feeds that you add to Feedly (or that it finds) are automatically added to your Google Reader account. So again, choose carefully what feeds you want to be seeing in Feedly, as they will affect your Google Reader account.

But once it's all set up, Feedly is a very useful and elegantly done start page - so much so, that we haven't been compelled to remove it. And since no other start page has captured our interest, that's certainly something.

Pageonce is a personal start page that gives you access to the web services you use most frequently. While other start pages like iGoogle or Netvibes let you read updates from a variety of RSS feeds, Pageonce goes a few steps further, letting you add email accounts, social networking profiles, bank and credit card accounts, airlines, and shopping sites.

We first looked at Pageonce back in February when the service was in private beta. But today the company launched a public beta meaning anybody who's willing to part with a few usernames and passwords can sign up. We're still a bit wary of any site that asks for your bank login information. But we can also see how it would be useful to have all of your financial information at your fingertips without having to login to a half dozen different sites every day to check your account balances.

Pageonce has added a few features since February, including a news feed that gives you a run down of changes across all of your registered services.
