PageFlakesPageFlakes is a personalized home page, much like Netvibes (which I wrote about on 23 JAN). PageFlakes features many of the standard “widgets” (which they call flakes), such as RSS Feeds, Weather, Search, etc.

What really makes PageFlakes stand out from the crowd is it’s “tabbed window.” PageFlakes allows you to setup a number of pages with which to setup flakes on. For example, you could have one named RSS, in which you placed all of your RSS Feeds; another named Work, in which you placed To-Do Lists and Notes. You get the point.

PageFlakes also has a strong developer community backing it, allowing anyone to create their very own flake to add increased functionality to the service. Many of the flakes that are available to use were in fact developed by community developers.

Some of these flakes are very powerful. I especially liked the Address Book, a feature I am begging the Netvibes developers for, as well as the To-Do List which allows you to enter due dates and receive on-screen and email reminders when these items are due.
