Published by: cfz 2008-12-04

In an attempt to augment its members' homepages into "personal information centers," Tripod Tuesday began offering Info Flashes to its users.

With Info Flashes, users can post news, stocks, sports, weather and horoscopes on their homepages at no charge, the company said. More topics will be offered soon.

Customization is a feature offered by many online communities. Portals like Yahoo! and Excite, as well as industry specific sites like E*Trade are offering personalized content and start pages.
