Pageflakes has a slick looking interface, but in terms of speed, I didn't like it. It took a fairly long time to load up individual feeds everytime I wanted to read the feed within the pageflakes, where Netvibes preloads a lot of the feeds, and it becomes a much faster user experience. Pageflakes does not seem to have a "Read all" option in their feed reader, which allowed me to load up all stories in the RSS feed, and just scroll down to browse the entire feed. In Pageflakes, I have to click each individual link in the RSS feed for it to load up in the reader. Could not find an OPML export option on Pageflakes. One of the reasons why I risked netvibes was that I could easily switch out easily if I needed to. I'm not sure I can do the same if I switch to Pageflakes. The pageflakes cross service integration modules look great though... Not bad… Pageflakes has a slick looking interface, but in terms of speed, I didn’t like it.

I was wondering if you have visited Pageflakes (http://www.pageflakes.com) already? We are offering a similar service allowing you to read news feeds and setting up multiple pages that can be customized with local weather, address book, todo lists, event finders, TV guides and much more. Looking forward to hearing from you. Maybe you have some thoughts on what we can improve. Thanks and best regards Tegan Hi,
