Although I have occassionally used iGoogle and MyYahoo it has never been a regular habit. Netvibes seems to offer more because it offers templates: debut, news, social, productivity, finance, hi-tech, and design.
Design seems useful for the web designer who wants to hear the latest information pertaining to their industry.
You can also create your own dashboard on Netvibes. I created one for Creative Writing, Journalism, and Economics.
Netvibes indexes 16 sources for each topic you choose. This is still the open web since there is no access to password protected sources. I think its a little more useful than a "reader" e.g. Google reader or the "reader view" available on Netvibes.
PageFlakes is no longer running. Phil Bradley gives excellent commentary on the demise of this customizable homepage or startup page.
