The creator of MyPhotoHomePage describes his site as a 'quick and dirty app designed to make it easy for Grandpa to see your latest uploads to Flickr without actually having to go there'. Basically, it's a startpage which you can customize with your latest Flickr photos, so that granny dearest won't lapse into a catatonic state trying to figure out how to navigate the complexities of the web. The design, as well as the links (Hotmail, AOL, ESPN, Expedia, CNN, etc), are geared for baby-boomers, so there's not much in the way of customizing, feed displays, widgets etc. To configure it to display your photos, you simply need to type in your Flickr name.

MyPhotoHomePage has a good idea. Complicated start pages aren't usually something that older folks and the web un-savvy will try to use; however, this site is easy enough to use, and it's got a personalized touch with the Flickr integration.
Is a design overhaul in the works? Will baby-boomers etc. really use this? Will a homepage button be added so that users don't have to configure the settings themselves?
