PageFlakes

Strange name, great web application!

PageFlakes is now my home page. Deceptively simple to use. It's a home page you customise; but you customise it with the content you want.

Add Flakes small little widget-like tools that are free that enhance the experience. Great use of AJAX, with Web 2.0 functionality and design.

With numerous choices of flakes to add, a number of preset RSS Feeds with the option of adding your own. I've set it up with a page for all business and web related content, Google Search, general tab for to do lists, weather, dictionary and so on.

Pages can be public, private or shared.

This is a FREE service and there are no ads or banners anywhere.

I'd suggest you take a quick look at PageFlakes, set up a page and if you like it then create an account. The sign up process in inobstrusive and quick.

It's almost Christmas and I have spent the good part of the day and evening on PageFlakes, customising the way I want it. This an application to keep an eye on. There is some clever talent behind this application and many usability features that are very impressive.
