Zeadoo. Home/start page

Thanks to the Information Overlord for this one. Zeadoo is another start/home page service. Quote from their site: "Zeadoo is your personal homepage for searching, bookmarking and sharing websites with friends. The site is designed for anyone who wants a simple, customizable page that they can access with one click from anywhere in the world." My initial feeling is that we've got Pageflakes, Netvibes and iGoogle - do we need another? Having looked at Zeadoo I like some of the functionality and the way it integrates with the browser, and the ease of sharing, inporting bookmarks and so on. However, since there's already plenty on the market, the newcomers really have to work hard to impress, and this one isn't offering enough as yet to make me want to change.
