This type of integrated dashboard/productivity portal is exactly what I need and am looking for, which is how I came across your post a year and a half later. I am using my Google homepage and some of the integrated Google apps, but still have not found anything that works like we’re all hoping.

Is there anything since this post that you’ve found to be better?

I was not aware of Firefox folders (being more of an IE user myself). So that'a another option instead of a start page like Netvibes, PageFlakes, iGoogle and the like. It's not going to be the kind of attractive dashboard such as you create with your Excel Dashboard creator. But as a "better than nothing" tool to save time and see stats all in one place, it helps the busy entrepreneur, manager or biz owner.. Anita Jorge, thanks for the tip.

Then, start Firefox, select the "open all" option and you'll get a dashboard automatically open in each tab. Not sure of this is what you have in mind, but it works for me.

Yes, visiting all those applications is incredibly time consuming. I'm glad for all the data in these apps, but I was beginning to fell like a slave to them all. Netvibes isn't perfect for this and leaves me wanting a lot more, but it does save me time and makes it easier for me to visit all the "mini-dashboards" I have in these SaaS applications. Sometime just saving a half hour a day or a few times a week can bring about a big boost to my productivity. Not to mention that it makes it more likely I will use all that valuable data. Anita Paula,

I agree with you that there is a real need to be able to have one central application where you can check your stats with a few simple clicks. Hopefully your article will spark a few wheels turning in the right direction.
