    On the topic of pageflakes - i wanted to drop a post to alert some of you on a new site that I just opened up to a larger audience called Velocitized - still some kinks being worked out but this site allows the users to add accounts and one-time logins to a personalized page. the goal for me when creating was to build something for myself that would cut out the 15-20 minutes a day i spend accessing my bookmarks and looking for passwords at work and put everything in one place. site is located at www.velocitized.net.
  • Stan,

    Your right. Pageflakes is one of the only RSS readers that allows you to share with others easily. I also use Netvibes and Google Reader. I have found that most music educators don't even know what a RSS feed is so this is a nice, direct, easy way to get them to get RSS feeds without too much trouble (and requires us to do the work for them :) ).

    I have a number of pageflakes sites that have specific information for my students and pageflakes provides a quick venue for doing that. The other thing with Pageflakes and Netvibes is that you can include email polling, weather updates, stock tickers, and just about any other type of non-rss informational source you can think of...

  • Looks cool, Joe - thanks for including me. I'm honestly having trouble figuring out how this has an advantage over any other RSS-feed subscription service, though. I guess the fact that you can assemble a page of feeds, and then refer someone else to it could have its uses . . .
