RSS Metagator?
CnetNews.com has coined a new word – metagators. This obviously means a huge aggregator but how does Pageflakes get that honor? It’s not more feature laden than Netvibes or My Yahoo or any other start page I can think of.
What makes this feed reader special enough for someone to invent a new word to describe it? Here is what Pageflages says about itself:
Pageflakes is an easy and fun way to get everything you love on the web right here on your personal homepage. You can arrange the sections you see here – ‘flakes’ – any way you want. Just drag and drop them anywhere!
Pageflakes users are always creating new flakes and shared pages for you to discover. Click the “Add Flake” button above right to add flakes for news, e-mail, games, events, photos, music, videos, and just about anything else you do on the web. For lots more news, try the “Add Feed” button.
I’m sure this is a fine reader but I’m not sure it should be classified as something new and meta!
