World History
Google recently announced that they are jettisoning their iGoogle page in November 2013. I can't tell you how much I depend on that page as I am always on Google and it makes for an easy way to see my news feeds. I have, though, found a close equivalent called Netvibes. It looks almost the same and allows almost all your feeds. It also allows you to set how many stories you can see. The only thing I can't do is delete my gmail e-mails. One can also set pages so they are private or public or have one or more of each. Now, of course, you could stick it out until Nov 2013 and see what else is on the horizon. Here is also a video on how to set up Netvibes.
