Pageflakes – Great RSS Reader and new Friend

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

I’m embarrassed to admit it, but it’s taken me this long to use an RSS Reader, and now I’ve fallen in love with Pageflakes. My fellow eROI blogger, Dylan Boyd – author of TheEmailWars, gives me a hard time about my slow adoption, but I never carved out the time to get an RSS Reader setup.

Here’s what I like about Pageflakes:

  • Drag and drop functionality of placing your favorite feeds on your 3-column page. 
  • Complete control of your page – minimizing or maximizing the different feeds so you can fit a ton of RSS Feeds on your page
  • Ease of use so I can see the sheer power of subscribing to all this amazing free content through RSS

It truly is sad that I’ve been speaking about RSS at tradeshows and marketing events for the past 2 years and it is only now with a killer RSS Reader and tool like Pageflakes that I get it.

Now, I’m a convert. I will always have my RSS Reader as an open tab in Firefox or IE. I pledge allegience to great RSS Readers…
