Pageflakes
Pageflakes is a free web-based start page tool.
You can use it to aggregate all kinds of resources
and tools on your web-based desktop (to create a
personal learning environment). All "flakes"
are editable and deletable, and there are thousands
of flakes that can be added, e.g. wikipedia flake,
calendar, bookmarks, and so on. You can also RSS
feeds. And you can share your page with others.
There is a special Pageflakes for Students version

Comments from those who selected Pageflakes as
one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "Es mi página de inicio, me sirve de
lector de feeds (mucho mejor que el de Netvibes) y
para muchas otras cosas. La
Teacher Edition
es espectacular, y
gracias a la posibilidad de crear Pagecasts (grupos
cerrados de trabajo) se ha convertido en un espacio
flexible y de gran utilidad [It is my start
page, it serves to me as reader of feeds (far better
that the one of Netvibes) and for many other things. The
Teacher Edition is spectacular, and thanks to the
possibility of creating Pagecasts (closed groups of
work) have become a flexible space and very useful]"

"I like to use Pageflakes in
combination with Bloglines for a different view of
what might be of interest to me."
John Schaffer
"my newspaper on the
world, finding updated information via RSS"
Nicola Avery
"The best
home/start page out there. Very flexible, more
innovative than the competition, easy to share pages."
Phil Bradley
"group collaboration"
Eric Daimler
"I keep my todo list right there at the top, so everytime I'm
in danger of drifting off into browse mode I'm reminded of
what I must finish. This is how I organise my RSS feeds and
keep up to date."
Andrew
Middleton

tool for visually aggregating RSS feeds. I use it to
keep track of
training blogosphere.

Karl Kapp
"good tool to visualize
the RSS feeds in one page"
Florence
Meichel
"I
use Pageflakes as a class portal (task lists,
homework, communication with parents, etc) and for
myself. For my personal pageflakes site, I've set it up
so I can view different delicious tags. Makes it very
easy."

- "Great

blogosphere.
The tool recently under went some design changes
for the worse but I am hopeful they will revise
the interface shortly making it easier to set up
and use."

"I like the ease by which a Web page can be
created by dropping flakes or widgets on the
page. There are thousands of flakes
available that make it easy for anyone to
aggregate content, including RSS feeds, for
many practical applications. I have been
encouraging teachers to create activities
for their students that use tools like
Pageflakes to create dynamic and
collaborative learning experiences."
