Your concept is good but I think you are simply going after the wrong niche. Web2.0 guys have bookmarks/tabs and once they fire FF they probably have all tabs open and they can use the google search box on the toolbar. You should apply the same concept to sports for example and create startup page with the hottest sport website and links ...Then go after teenagers and launch the Gossip or Hollywood startup page...Before you know it you will have all these niche communities. That's just my 2 cents.

Yes very true. This niche probably isn't the best for this type of product. Our goal is to create something for us to use and share it with the community. I would encourage anyone interested to talk to me about how you could go about building a startup around creating these types of start pages. We've created a handful of pretty successful ones with 100k+ unique monthlys so there probably is a small startup opportunity here.
