Just noticed the online desktop app Pageflakes has added some nifty features since my last visit. I seem to mention these guys frequently and they tend to have some neat stuff going on.

The newest one is mentioned in this blog post:

Great news for fans of Blogmarks, Blinklist, Ma.gnolia and Simpy! We just added a flake for each of these services, allowing you to view your bookmarks on your personal startpage at Pageflakes.

I played with the BlinkList one a bit and like it. The user can opt to see all “blinked” articles, or just their own. Simple and easy to use and rather handy to have around as part of the online desktop thing.

This other one I just noticed as well, but turns out I’m a couple days behind. This post announced the box.net integration. Wow, box.net has popped up a couple other times here recently, they must be on to something. I’m happy to see that you can either register for a new box.net account right from the flake or, more importantly, point to an existing account. Like my other interactions with apps using the box.net api, it works and uploads seem a bit sluggish as compared to going straight to the box.net site. However, as a way to easily get to stored items, this rocks.

   I’m more than a couple of days behind, but I did notice they also added support for Simpy the other day. The Simpy flake is here.
