BETA/RELEASE: START.COM is alive!

Ohmigod.  This is awesome.  And we built it. 

Some of you know that I collect RSS feeds and consume them like they were going out of style.  This new version of our START.COM home page has me utterly GIDDY.
http://www.start.com/default.aspx

It allows you to:
– Remember your feeds via Passport login
– Search for RSS feed URLs
– Subscribe to RSS feeds and associate them with your Passport
– Post the RSS feed titles on your Main Page
– Adjust the number of items show in the feed (5, 7, 10, 20, etc.)
– Adjust the number of columns per page
– Drag & drop feeds between columns
– Hotlist of existing "top RSS feeds"
– Change the color

It even subscribes to the Dilbert Cartoon and shows that on the main page.  The ONLY THING that it doesn’t do is adjust the font size – I want 8pt font so I can fit EVERYTHING on the front page with little scrolling.  Once they do that, I’m done:  I’m subscribing to this thing 24×7 on every one of the 17 laptops I own.  It’ll be posted to permanently as my start page for certain.
