I chose to learn about Pageflakes, another type of social personalized homepage. It is different than delicious and other social readers, because it allows for you to have specific boxes "flakes" of other websites open and accessible. For example I could create a personal page, but then open on that site could be my blog, my facebook, my twitter etc. It would be useful for teachers because they could have a specific webpage where a lot of other sources are right on that page, easy for students and parents to locate. On Pageflakes there are a variety of pre-made flake links in which you can easily add to your personal page. Yet the nice thing is Pageflakes does allow you to create your own "flakes" so that you can have the flakes you want on your page if they do not already exist.
Some examples already made are:
*weather sites
*new sites
*youtube
*social readers
I did really enjoy learning about Pageflakes and would like to create one for myself. I appreciate how the page is set up with "flakes" so you have all the necessary websites set up, without just a list of websites to click on. If you would like to learn more about Pageflakes, I recommend everyone to check it out!
VERY CONVIENIENT! I used something similar to this once, but not sure exactly what it was...I loved being able to open my homepage and have everything right in front of me. Thanks for the post :)
