We just got pointed to Mooglets, another personalizable homepage (warning: probably won’t work in IE6). It got a few diggs a while back. This one’s prettier than the rest, though it doesn’t have much in the way of widgets yet. Mooglets is made by a self-described “small web design/engineering agency located in Rome, Italy” that “build[s] accessible and usable websites, design shirts or cd covers, and create[s] custom web based applications (content management systems, shopping carts, etc).” Obviously it has little in the way of users, partnerships, and distribution deals, so perhaps it doesn’t need funding. But c’mon, if the benchmark is Netvibes’ $15 million, some venture capitalist must want to step up. Frothy is as frothy does… (Thanks, Niall.)
Update: Sorry guys — I don’t have any millions myself, and this was written with my tongue firmly placed in my cheek.
