#6 - lifting code? you might want to do a simple web search before you write stuff like that. pageflakes introduced public pages and other social features a long time before netvibes even announced their (limited) universe feature: http://www.readwriteweb.com/ar.....s_blur.php - i really wonder where you guys get your ideas from.

#4 and #5 - uhm… no comment. but it was funny, thanks.

#3 - pageflakes loads in 2-3 seconds on my browser (firefox 2).

#10 - yes, that’s a good point. i use a mac at work and i really wished they would support safari.

- This is little to No news …

As you could see in statistics released some time ago, Apple (and in consequence Safari) is getting more and more sales.

I tried the same with iGoogle and Live.com but they don’t have those features. I also chceked out Netvibes when they announced their universes but after finding out that I can’t publish my page there either (what’s the value of a universe if it’s limited to a USAToday page setup by Netvibes? I can add those feeds myself…), I decided that Pageflakes is still the best choice. After all they had that feature for months now… not really sure why it’s announced only now. Well, maybe the 100,000 public pages was a nice milestone. It sure shows that I am not the only one with a public page

I’ve been a Pageflakes user for a long time. As Mike points out, Pageflakes has “long offered” public and group pages for a long time - they basically invented the shared personalized page.

Doing some research here, it looks like the “Netvibes Universes” you mention was just announced a few weeks ago at Web 2.0 conference. What I see in Netvibes is about 100 or so read-only example pages that they apparently created themselves for things like Forbes, USA Today, 50 Cent, and generic media stuff like that. From what I can see, Netvibes hasn’t even shipped the feature for users to publish their own pages. Going well beyond publishing a page, us Pageflakes users can collaborate and jointly edit our pages with others, publish a page among a private group, etc. - not just put up a “MySpace” clone on the web.

In the meantime, Pageflakes users have created and shared 100,000+ pages about real things that are important to them and their families. Frankly, I think this is an impressive milestone and Pageflakes is leading the way. Check out the examples in Mike’s article, I see schools, child adoptions, etc.

Now that we have a counterpoint on “who did what first,” let’s put aside these feature discussions for a moment. As history has proven time and time again, it isn’t about the technology, VC funding, AJAX, mashups, web 2.0, whatever. The bottom line is that a lot of people like me have found Pageflakes and love it. We really find the “Pagecasting”stuff very fun and useful, and we don’t really care what’s under the hood or who made what feature first. I’ll bet that the 100,000 regular people that decided to share their creations with others don’t give a damn either.

It’s about rise and fall of the govWorks.com. Don’t say it will not happen to you.

You have to tell us what is innovation & web 2.0 behind pageflakes besides AJAX and NET technology. You need to show us what you invent that change the world.

1.) There is nothing new. It’s all fancy graphics.
2.) Mashup & RSS. What about it?
3.) With million dollar. Do you have innovation?

Anyone can make startup page by using microsoft frontpage, download CSS examples, and open free webhosting site. Most of school and colleges taught student how to make the first webpage. Today, we have iGoogle, My yahoo, MSN startup page.

Pageflakes took much risk… We got existing product. I don’t understand… Why this huge risk?

please people! prefetch, precache, give me static html

every one of the dynamic page services should offer a “freeze this” feature to produce a static or semi-static version of the page

i basically wrote something like this in haskell myself and run it as a cronjob, i got so tired of waiting for these pages to load

if i am going to set a page as my “home page”, it has to load in less than one second

Pageflakes is an amazing testament to this. This new service looks like a socially networked version of netvibes, and honestly that is probably what most web sites will begin to resemble as the internet evolves.

Pick a theme, design some tools, and give the user the control to organize it as he/she will.
