1000steine.de, BrickLink, BrikTrak, LDraw.org, Peeron, BrickSet, BrickShelf,
LEGO.com, and so forth.

I think this makes sense for non members only. Usually, the members
already know what they're looking for, so according to their
preferences, they should get the best page. That means page with the
stuff they like and few extraordinary tidbids from other LEGO worlds. I,
for example don't care for Bionicle, what should the link/icon for
BZPower take take the place on my 'welcome' page, but OTOH, I would like
to see something as extraordinary as the Alien Queen
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=61438).

RSS feeds from other sites filtered on keywords set in my preferences.
Yahoo-like directory of links mantained by members.

Gallery of newest MOCs (also filtered), with user comments/ratings.
Could be also linked with inventories on Peeron. Some people simply
don't have that imagination or don't know all the tricks yet, so
building other's MOCs helps. So if such a person clicks on Try to build
for a particular MOC, it gets transferred to Peeron just to see some
parts are missing, and clicking on such parts would lead the person on
Bricklink...

Hey, isn't this that WorldLUG/LEGOFan idea again? Seems so, so please
disregard this message ;-)
