Westnet launched MyWestnet, a personalisable homepage, last Thursday.
The content & features are fairly standard:
- News from AAP
- Video from Fairfax
- Weather from TheWeatherCo
- Fuel Price data from MotorMouth
- Movie showtimes & TV guide from HWW(?)
- DVD rental via dvddirect.net.au
- Stock quotes & horoscopes via links to ASX.com.au and astrology.com.au
What is interesting is that they're running banner advertising, and that they're even bothering to build such a site. iINet built something similar quite a while back only to shut it down a year or so later. Also, traffic from the site is not counted towards Westnet users' download quotas.
