My friend Laura pointed this site, Woot.com, out to me a few months ago. Everyday they have a different special on mostly tech gadgets.

My first customizable homepage was on Yahoo many years back. I then switched to Netvibes. You can subscribe to different rss feeds, add widgets for weather, your email, social networks and other such things. It makes a good place to start off you day.

If you need one place to keep everything organized, check out Netvibes.
