PLEASANTON, CA – (January 27th, 2009) – LeapFish announced today the launch of its personalized homepage, empowering users with a single customizable page that captures all that they care about on the web.

“Access everything you care about online from one homepage,” said LeapFish CEO Ben Behrouzi. “Users can now get their latest news, fully interact with their Twitter and Facebook accounts and share content, from a single easy to use page on the Internet,” he said.

The LeapFish homepage acts as a personalized dashboard to the Internet where everyone can get the latest news from the providers they choose, interact with their social networks and share the content they care about at anytime from one homepage. Two of the main features of the customizable homepage include Facebook and Twitter applications, where users can interact with their accounts without having to visit the sites separately.

The LeapFish homepage is equipped with a growing list of portals, applications and tools that users can easily add via a widgets page that currently offers about thirty five different widgets. Some of the homepage widgets currently available include Yahoo News, Celebrity News, Mashable, TechCrunch, Youtube Videos, Facebook and Twitter.
