Web Feed Notes #2

Feedburner's current publisher's buzz featured publisher is Pageflakes, which lets you aggregate multiple feeds to create a personalized home page. You can also keep an address book and keep track of current tasks. There's no need to sign up to try the features. The site does keep a cookie, however. So even if you don't sign up, your settings are remembered.

As an RSS reader/ aggregator, though, I think its a bit awkward. I exported my Bloglines OPML reading list and imported it into Pageflakes. But I cannot read any of my 300+ feeds' items until I drag and drop each feed to somewhere on the page. Sorry, but the purpose of an OPML list, as I understand it, is to facilitate copying your feed grazing list into another feed reader or aggregator. I'm not going to try to position 300+ little widgets onto a limited web page.

On the other hand, this isn't a bad setup for browsing a few popular feeds. And the number and range of available "flakes" is actually quite impressive. This includes being able to chat, reading email, setting up maps, getting the weather, and tons more. As far as being able to personalize a home page goes, Pageflakes isn't bad. But as an RSS
aggregator, I'll pass.
