Israeli based Alefo is a news/personal aggregator that is taking on iGoogle and Netvibes. The site allows users to compile their favorite RSS feeds, Widgets and what they dub ‘site shots’ which basically consist of parts of other websites, to paste onto a personal homepage.
You can add Site shots, by taking a screenshot of any webpage and selecting the parts you want to see; they open up as moveable small windows on your homepage. The top tool bar features a recycle bin along with tabs. Widgets can be manually added, or you can select from a few they have on offer, such as YouTube’s most popular daily videos. The service will eventually be available for mobile use as well.
