Once again the web 2.0 passionates have chosen Pageflakes to be the ruler of the webtop (web+desktop) arena !!! We feel proud when we see that our users are finding Pageflakes useful in fulfilling their needs – the goal we keep in focus when we work. We always focus on user experience to make sure that we don’t bloat our users with unnecessary features. Rather, we try to add things that come handy in daily life.

Directly quoting from the InformationWeek article:

“Pageflakes: If I were going to use an Ajax desktop, Pageflakes is the one I’d pick. To begin with, Pageflakes has the most interesting and useful types of applets (which it calls Flakes), and the widest variety: Besides offering a very easy way to link to various popular RSS feeds, the service lets you add the Funny Quote of the Day and TV listings; use a movie finder that hooks into IMDB.com; chat live using the Pageflakes chat engine (which is actually not very useful, since you can only chat to other Pageflakes users); write notes; check the weather; keep to-do and contact lists… There’s even a link to a simple Alexa graph that lets you monitor the traffic of up to five Web sites. As of this writing, there were 98 different Flakes that you could choose from.

The interface is useful as well: You can organize your Flakes into separate tabbed pages and easily move them from one page to the next. You can even share pages with friends. Pageflakes has obviously had a lot of thought go into it — and it shows. “
