Pageflakes Community Site - Pageflakes Team Blogs
After reading the comment posted by Lee I decided I was game to mosey on over and check out Pageflakes. Well slap my hiney and call me a cowgirl because this site is absolutely amazing! It offers over 100 widgets called "flakes" that you can add to customize your page. For example, you might feel compelled to set up a grade tracker, play Black Jack, add some foreign RSS feeds or create your own snazzy clock (to keep track of all the time you might end up spending on this sweet, personalized startup page). The opportunities are incredible. One especially nice aspect about the site, however, is that you are not overwhelmed initially by all the great features they have to offer. Upon arriving at the site to create your page, the layout is simple and as the founder Ole points out in an interview last May, his motto is to keep things simple in order to let people explore and grow gradually. Great idea since many people are not tech. wizards but can enjoy all that web 2.0 has to offer...if given time to acclimate.
Another really remarkable feature on the site is the ability to keep your page private, invite guests to read and contribute to your page or to make your page completely public so the whole world can have its finger on your pulse. The choice is all up to you in how socially connected you desire your page to be.
The worst part of the site is I may have to migrate from netvibes on over to pageflake (the grade tracker and mastermind widgets really got to me...).
I recommend you saunter on over and see what all this hallaballoo is all about for yourself!
Check it out!
