Ho..ho... ho...

Merry Christmas all,

We have certainly been busy in the weeks leading up to Christmas which include a draft document of what MerlinFX intends to do in 2007. There are a number of applications under development, new services for customers, enhanced user experiences and pricing models.

I look forward to revealing them all in due course.

Be safe over the Christmas break, I wish you all the best. Try not too over indulge too much. Well we all know that's not going to happen!

Look forward to dealing with you in 2007.

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.
