I don’t see how they can compete with netvibes.

it looks quite cool but its just a more jazzy version of google’s or yahoo’s personalized page.

I’ve been using pageflakes for the last several months. It’s faster than netvibes and more sophisticated than google IG. I haven’t logged on today but I hope these new changes don’t slow things down.

As for the complaints by Zaid (#5) & Yosef (#16), the things which you don’t like are all changeable by using the edit option on each feed.

Sometimes new “features” are annoying (thumbnails on rss widgets–glad to hear I can change that). I haven’t tried the RSS feeder, but seems like it will be an eye-saver. I love scanning new articles for my feeds, but sheesh, someday I’m gonna go blind.

Yes iyoype lets you stay in context for RSS or bookmarks that you can also import from your browser and it requires no downloads. Documents is mashup with Googledocs that makes all your documents available (in case u use GD) while surfing any site so that you can go back to your spreadsheets (only works for ss)

I just checked out the iyoype site, it has one main advantage, it lets you stay within the same location as you check out similar results. Not quite sure what the Documents section is all about or how it relates to Google.

Check out http://www.iyoype.com they launched beta last week and makes reading RSS real easy. It is still in its early stages but the site looks promising.

pageflakes should use its beautiful RSS reader as its default feed reader. its really disturbing for me to go to the website for reading articles. its always more convenient to stay inside the site where i organize everything. if you haven’t seen the RSS reader yet, i think u’ll like it. just chnge the default viewer to RSS reader from the widget settings.

I use Pageflakes RSS reader in Newspaper view. This feature is great to review all the feed at once.

My favorite flake, “quote of the day. ” Also managed to keep up with some of favorite blogs through the RSS reader. Pageflakes is simple and nicely designed, great for users like myself.

I went to PageFlakes a few months back and am glad I did. My home page is now exactly how I like it. PF also has some cool flakes to play around with in their gallery. It’s worth checking out.

@Peter: In the bottom left of the RSS Reader, there’s a “mark all read” dropdown.

This RSS reader is way too simple… you can’t even mark all feeds read… they should copy the newsgator.com rss reader, I will definitely stick to that.

Thanks for the pageflakes review, I have become an avid user and have already started using the new features and love them. I was curious did they hint at other new things to come?

>> I’m still waiting for these companies to monetize

You think being the gateway to web is not monetizable?. There are several ways to monetize, Search comes first to my mind!. Remember how firfox makes 50 million/year or so with its google partnered startpage.

The problem with startpages is not monetizing but rather marketing. They dont have a viral element like social sites so they have to market to one person at a time. They can do deals with OEM’s like dell but it will be very very expensive.
