Pageflakes Gets A Facelift, and Much More

Pageflakes, a leading player in the rapidly-growing personalized startpage space, today released a completely overhauled version of its popular web site www.pageflakes.com.

In addition to numerous new features and enhancements, Pageflakes also got a completely new look and feel. The new site has been designed by Jeremy Baines, owner of the London-based award-wining design company "this side up," who recently joined Pageflakes as Head of UI. One of the most visible changes besides the fresh new look is a "Welcome Wizard" which greets new users and makes getting started with Pageflakes easier than ever. The user simply selects from a sample of popular modules ("flakes") such as Address Book, Search, Weather, Email and News and chooses his favourite colour scheme. Pageflakes then creates a customized page based on the user's selection.

The long list of further improvements and new features includes:

Dozens of pre-created page templates for typical use cases such as work, family, sports, finance, entertainment, education and much more. Now it takes just a mouse click to add a whole page with the best modules for a certain topic area.

A Feed Directory and a Podcast Directory with hundreds of news feeds and podcasts from all over the world and for almost every category(digy).

A new Pageflakes community environment at www.pageflakes.com/community which allows users to search, submit, rate and discuss flakes and do much more.

Setting up a shared page with other users is now easier than ever.

A Public Pages Gallery of all the pages which Pageflakes users have published.
