Yep, yet another one.
Pageflakes is a personalized home page along the lines of
Google Personalized Home,
Netvibes, and so on.
It's nice and AJAXy as we've come to expect and has a pretty good selection of widgets ("flakes"), including
address book, sticky notes, to-do lists, Gmail, headlines, and so on. One nice feature not seen everywhere else is the
ability to create multiple pages, which take the form of tabs at the top of the page and let you have multiple sets of
widgets organized for, say, Work and Play. It also has a third-party API for creating your own widgets and just now
they're sponsoring a widget contest the grand prize for which is an Xbox 360.

It looks and feels really nice but it does seem slow. For general, everyday use I couldn't be tempted away from live.com at the moment. Still early days and all that...

These guys were trying to get people from the live.com site to build things for them... (I declined).
How many more "me too" "homepage" sites can we have? I still use about:blank for speed.
