ClutterMe - Simple Yet Amazing HomePage Creator
We have previously discussed browser start pages and we have found that there are many options from which we can choose from. However ClutterMe is a start page which intends to stand out from the crowd.
I think ClutterMe is certainly one of the simplest yet very effective start pages available. Instead of just praising on it, I’ll immediately start with its features so that you can see what exactly I am talking about.
1. Write anywhere, everywhere
That’s right. ClutterMe allows you to just click and write anywhere on the page. Once you are finished writing, it will save it for you. Therefore you can take notes on your start page in the simplest possible manner.
2. Save Links Easily
It also allows you to copy-paste or type links easily on the page. It is wise enough to distinguish between normal text and links.
3. Add videos and pictures directly
This is a wonderful feature. You just need to copy-paste your favorite youtube video link and it will add the video directly. Similarly you can add picture files. It can’t get simpler then that.
4. Drag, drop and resize stuff easily
Yes, you can easily drag and drop stuff by clicking on the small icon which appears on each note at the top right. You can even resize videos and images easily and needless to say, you can customize the fonts in your notes too.
5. Custom Backgrounds
ClutterMe also offers a wide range of custom backgrounds for your homepage.
6. Get social by adding friends
This is a unique feature. You can register with ClutterMe, create an account and then add friends. You can share stuff and browse through your friends’ homepages. You can even write on your friends’ homepages in exactly the same manner like you edit your own page. Cool, isn’t it?
7. Doesn’t rely on Cookies
They don’t mention this, but I have found that when I go to clutterme.com and make changes (without signing in ), the new page appears as it is in different browsers. This means that it doesn’t rely on browser cookies like most of the other start pages.
Overall, I found ClutterMe to be simple, productive and useful. Hope you like it too.

This looks like a really interesting idea for a start page. It’s so similar to many of the other start pages out there, but I like the new direction this seems to be taking. I’m definately going to give it a try.
nice idea but I think this fits the idea of a start page a few years back where people wanted instant access to content the minute they launched. Now people are more focused on what they want and faster load up is preferred - cluttering it as this service suggests is counter productive and I think the most popular start up page is probably about blank or some variation of a search engine - like google/msn. Less clutter is what people want - it’s a good idea and ultimately its the user who decides the amount of clutter on here but someone looking for a clutter free startup is going to turn to about:blank rather then clutterme.
