iGoogle & Pageflakes

Because I'm a fan of Google (until they do something stupid...which they are bound to do eventually) and have been a Gmail user since it's beta days I've known about iGoogle and set up a page a while ago. That being said, I haven't actually used it in the past year or so.

I had never heard of Pageflakes which makes sense because in the short time I looked at it I think I would prefer iGoogle, and I said how much I use it.

While I haven't talked about either in my classes, I have watched many students login to iGoogle and check the news and read about current events through it.

I have no need for iGoogle or Pageflakes because everywhere I go Firefox goes with me along with the Foxmarks add-on, and my bookmarks are set up so that I can check all my favorite news sites with a couple clicks, my favorite technology websites are all set up as RSS feeds (slashdot, engadget, lifehacker, gizmodo, etc) as I enjoy reading full pages of news but the technology sites are basically blogs and I only need to see the RSS title to determine if I want to read the story or not.
Sure I could set something similar up through iGoogle or Pageflakes, but I have no need nor want to.
