Re: [LM_NET] Pageflakes and iGoogle

[James Lerman <lermanj@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi Floyd,
This question is of interest to me too, so when you asked it I went
searching.There is a good article at this website
http://www.cnet.com.au/software/internet/0,239029524,339286371-1,00.htmcalled
Start-page smackdown: Netvibes, Pageflakes, iGoogle and Live.com.
It's deep in a big site from Australia and can take awhile to load, or come
up with an error message. Just keep trying, all it takes is a little
persistence.
Article is actually quite informative and makes, IMHO, a good comparison
among the four.
In doing that search, I also found 2 other webtops (the term I like the most
for these apps, short for web-based desktop):
Protopage at http://www.protopage.com/ and
Bubbletop at http://www2.bubbletop.com
Have fun!
