@martin, I am certainly no expert on Viviti so I can only offer high level comments. Viviti has received some good press regarding their ease in building professionally looking websites. While you can do this as well with Scrapplet, Scrapplet’s focus is on the following three sectors: (1) users seeking to extend and enhance their existing web presence, (2) users seeking to consolidate and aggregate their larger web presence into a virtual web site, and (3) users seeking a platform for the creation, hosting, and distribution of web applications and mashups.

To that extent, you could easily take Page Flakes, Net Vibes, or Viviti and embed all or part of them within your Scrapplet environment. Without understanding your specific needs I would be hesitant to recommend any one thing over the other and would encourage your hands on in each to help determine the best match for you. Hope this helps.

– Steve

Steve Repetti,

I want to create a new start & home page in the near future. I am using PageFlakes at the moment and I have Netvibes as my main RSS reader. I am thinking of using Viviti as a website creator. Could you compare and contrast this tool with yours?

All the Best,

@luc: Your Scrapplets can be embedded directly into websites, blogs, wikis, and more — and their are account options for assigning your domain to your Scrapplet site (and removing any ads / page headers). You can check out the business area for additional options: http://www.scra...ontent/business

Is there an option to host my Scrapplet site with my chosen web host?

I wonder, has there been any successful start with the word “crap” in it’s name?

Wow, this is kind of slick. I like the advanced properties tab under everything. it reminds me of autocad or old vba, only new and fresh.

I found it very confusing and hard to get used to. Setting up new “scraps” was not very intuitive either. I finally got annoyed and clicked “x”.

There is such a thing as too many choices. It will be interesting to see how big the audience is that can actually hang with this high degree of functionality.

Are there some community college classes I can take on how to use this thing?

Jessica Alba page makes it look like the thing might have potential, but I think I could code that page before I could figure out how to make it with their builder.

Paul — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 06:49:59 +0000

The Jessica Alba 30 second thing on the frint page (and every other page) is hard to find because the link doesn’t work anywhere — you’re going to have a LOT of 404’s I’m sure… but, when looking for Jessica, I know no bounds and so… here’s the actual link…

Synthasite is cool… and you could create something with their service and then drag and drop it into Scrapplet as a portion of a larger “virtual” web site… and that’s just getting started. Integrate youe existing sites, social networks and media, images and videos, as well as widgets, gadgets, and mashups… and you’re starting to get there… Scrapplet doesn’t ask you to give up ANY of the good stuff you are already enjoying elsewhere — its providing a place where it can all come together (and play nice too!).

By: Alan Wilensky

Isn’t Synthasite somewhat similar? You can embed any javascript from any service, and other popular services are supported even without the explicit embed. Likewise, Typepad allows pages to be composited with many services. I know that this service is somewhat different, but how?

Bill, Scrapplet was originally built as an extension to the Facebook platform, however it was clear early on that it had implications way beyond Facebook. The “windowing” library (www.xwinlib.com) allows me to use any windowing theme that I want. In face, Scrapplet has a window option that lets you embed xp, vista, mac, and even linux-styled windows within the web page…AND, the source is provided to the window theme library for you to create your own….
