For the past 10 years or so, instead of simply using a search engine as my browser's start page, I've been using my own self-designed page. The page may not look like much, but what it lacks in looks, it more then makes up for in functionality. It has links to the sites and admin pages that I tend to access frequently, search boxes to send queries to the sites I often search, stock quotes for a few different stock symbols, the latest headlines from some RSS feeds, a link to the company phone list, and a few other odds and ends. It may not be the right approach for everyone, but I find it very convenient and a great time saver.
