The great part is that developers can create new widgets which you can use on these sites like netvibes and pageflakes. You can have the system grab code off another system for a widget. Many of the widgets are simply syndicated content like for CNN, USA Today, etc. These companies post articles as a "feed" which your homepage grabs every time you open it. I use the netvibes alternative: http://www.browserstart.org They are called widgets.

I think it is worth to think about. And thanks for the stats I will check them for some time and maybe figure aut some theory :). It is wery interesting - maybe I will write a post about alexa :) Yes, maybee the feed reader size is matter of taste, but I think readibility is better when information is on the big screan and mixed background can also steal attention and it can be hard to read for long time.

Very interesting observations. We will take all your comments and suggestions very seriously. Just one little comment on the size of our RSS Reader: I think the advantage of not making it full-screen is that you can still view some other flakes and feeds at the same time if it doesn't take up the whole screen. So you can switch to a new blog or news feed without having to close the RSS Reader window, which saves users a mouse click. I'm not sure if it outweighs the disadvantage - we'll think about it. Maybe it's a question of personal taste or RSS reading habit, respectively. In any case we know that our RSS Reader is far from perfect. We're still working on numerous enhancements and new features. Keep up the good work! Best regards Christoph P.S.: Regarding your previous posting on the Alexa comparison, sometimes it's hard to understand the Alexa charts. Look at today's picture: <a href="http://www.pageflakes.com/users/christoph/AlexaNVPF.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.pageflakes.com/users/christoph/AlexaNVPF.png </a>. I archived it because it can look completely different tomorrow. Hi Maris,
