webcredible.co.uk — Several popular websites have let their homepages be customised by users. New web technologies have made it possible to add slicker customisation interfaces. But, should you do the same? Will it make your website better for users or will it make it unnecessarily complicated? Will users even want this feature on your site?

User customizability and expandability are the key of the web2.0 scene right now, but i guess the next wave will (could and should) focus on improvement in terms of usability and interoperability with the desktop sector, after all desktop applications aren't dead at all.

I think this is definitely a waste of time for non-portal/community sites. If it's not a user's homepage, I don't see them customizing it.
