Creating a dashboard

I just created my dashboard on Netvibes. I didn't really care for the experience, I felt confused on what I should include on the dashboard. I posted my blog, and the weather and then after that I wasn't sure what else to put up. I was also confused about the part about making the dashboard public, or not. I have no idea if my dashboard is public. I dont see myself ever using this to help me stay organized, since I have an iPhone and all the apps available on my phone allow me to access this information but in a way I know how to operate.
