PageOnce eliminates the need to login to a hundred web sites today
How many web pages do you login to every day? There's your email accounts, social networking sites, bank and credit card web sites, online stores, and entertainment web sites. That's a lot of passwords and URLs to remember. PageOnce aims to make things a lot easier by letting you view all of your online accounts in one place.
The site is in private beta, but if you visit TechCrunch, you might be able to score an invite today.
As soon as you've got your account up and running you can start adding online services to your PageOnce homepage by clicking the "Add Content" button. Up pops a window with a handful of popular services like Facebook, MySpace, Gmail, Yahoo!, Blockbuster, and Netflix. But PageOnce doesn't stop there. You can also associate your login information for airlines or travel services like American Airlines or Travelocity. And you can add your bank account information too.
In fact, while PageOnce presents a short list of available sites, there's also a search box on the "Add Content" window. And when you start to type in that search box, a list of possible results shows up. We were a bit overwhelmed at just how many services PageOnce works with.
You can sort your accounts by category like shopping, finance, or social. Or you can view a Netvibes-like homepage with little widgets representing each account. Clicking the "More Info" button on a widget brings up relevant info like unread e-mail messages or Facebook updates.
PageOnce doesn't offer two way communication. So while you can check for e-mail orbanking updates, you can't write messages or do your banking from the PageOnce page. Oh, and did we mention that you wind up giving them your online banking login information if you choose to use that feature? Pardon us if we wait for the company to spend a few years proving itself before we take that step.
