I've been able to set up Protopage to about an 80% emulation of my iGoogle home page, and I'm hopeful that in the next year, we'll get options to completely emulate iGoogle.
Big advantage for Protopage is that you can stretch widgets across two columns of a three column setup, so for the first time, I can see all of the AccuWeather moving radar for Colorado. Yay!
Protopage seems more intuitive than netvibes, so I'm working with it instead.
My biggest miss so far is a simple US stock market summary widget - nothing is better than the Google Finance Portfolios widget, and yet no one else has anything close that I've been able to find, and I don't see how to get the code to directly port the widget over to Protopage.
