I looked at PageFlakes some time ago and forgot about it. At the time it was pretty shit, but going back to it now it's like a totally different beast. There are still some annoyances with it, so I'm alternating between it and iGoogle as my home page, but if I could sort out the teething problems then I would be tempted to use it full time.

Decent website Might use it in future

One of the advantages is the email "widget". In iGoogle, because of the way it's all tied in to your Google login, you can only have one instance of an email widget. In pageflakes you can have multiple.

iGoogle's search though is far superior. the PF one seems to be restricted and is probably an affiliate link to show the amount of traffic it's generating (that and the Ad Sense stuff).
