Pageflakes to go social with Blizzard
Posted by Jacque on June 29th, 2007
Coming soon to a Pageflake start page near you…
Mashable says Pageflakes is taking steps to turn itself into more of a social network with its latest offering, called Blizzard. The launch has been pushed back from June until July to incorporate more features that users desire.
With Blizzard, Pageflakes will have a “People” tab in order to find other Pageflakes users and subscribe to others’ Pagecasts.
Their conclusion: “The beauty of moving from a personalized front page into a larger social network is the capacity for more sharing between users - Pageflakes ceases to be an individual experience and becomes a social one. As Facebook becomes more like an aggregated startpage, it’s interesting to note that startpages are becoming more like social networks.”
