2Start - 1 Way 2 Start

http://www.2start.co.uk



Described as a "UK portal and directory", 2Start certainly fits a lot in - its homepage includes UK and World news headlines, multiple search engines, shopping and travel links, a translation tool, a route planner and a currency converter, among other things. The front page links to UK-focused news, business and sports sites is also a useful feature. To be fair, there is little original content here, but the site certainly performs a useful purpose in bringing together information from across the Web. 2Start's claim to be "the UK's leading homepage" might be rather wide of the mark, but it is nonetheless a site worth adding to your favourites.

Yahoo!

http://www.yahoo.com/




Yahoo!'s search technology is no longer powered by Google, though the layout of the results continues to look very Google-esque. Still, Yahoo! offers a very good range of searches (images, news, shopping and local, as well as web), and a wealth of other useful content (such as auctions, real estate ads, the popular Yahoo! Groups). Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 3 Jun 2006].
