Looks quite attractive with informative link bar, but where do you place your favourites? Couldn't find that facilty, and it is actually quite important imo, especially when you've been so used to it in the past.

There's a Google bookmarks thingy you can add and then you can add them to that or even import them

Try the My Yahoo too  http://uk.my.yahoo.com/    As it seems that will last beyond October

iGoogle to be retired Nov 1st

My Yahoo won't
Well, whatever, nevermind

I know everybody crititises aoHELL, and rightly so in many respects, but their home/welcome page for members is actually very good and informative with bags of facilties links and info.
I was in the misguided belief that competitors sites were probably all very similar, but no, not the case at all.

Virgin's is extremely poor. which did actually suprise me tbh.


The others don't get the same huge CIA subsidy as AOL for controlling your thoughts and habits.

Tell you what I'm missing about aoHELL, (not much granted) and that's the homepage wot had the facility to list your favourites and a really good clear and concise section across the top with the tool bar that you could place your most favourestest favourite sites with a symbol of your choice  to click on for instant access. :thumbsup:


Firefox just seems to have a drop down 'bookmark' thing that's not as clear and easy to use.

The Virgin welcome page is shite too and don't even bother using it now.

Just an observation

We have Virgin to fluffy but I have Google set as my homepage so I never need to look at the Virgin one..... cloud9:(missed you)
You only get one chance at this life so make the most of it .
