Pageflakes Adds RSS Reader

Monday, August 14, 2006; 04:58 AM

Pageflakes, a leading player in the rapidly-growing AJAX-based personalized internet startpage market, announced the release of its new RSS reader.


Pageflakes's RSS feed manager.
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" and is a technology used by hundreds of thousands of blogs and other web sites to deliver so called content "feeds" to users. The user simply enters his favorite feeds or selects some popular feeds such as The New York Times, TechCrunch or Gizmodo from the feed directory. Pageflakes (www.pageflakes.com) then automatically monitors all feeds for updates and puts all articles on the user’s page.

To fit everyone’s taste and personal reading habit, the new RSS reader provides a variety of different views. In Outlook View, the screen is split into three panes, letting users read their RSS feeds in a similar way like many users are used to read their emails. Newspaper View puts all articles on one large virtual sheet of paper. By scrolling down, users can quickly navigate through the daily information overload. The Website View lets users view postings in their original context and formatting.

Additional features include an "all-feeds-in-one" option which mixes postings from all of the user’s feeds into one virtual feed, the ability to save articles for later reading and various sorting options.

"Pageflakes is all about personalization and customization," said Ole Brandenburg, co-founder and CMO of Pageflakes. "Just a few days ago we announced the release of a variety of customization options, including various color and page layout themes. Launching such a versatile RSS reader once again shows that Pageflakes wants to provide users with a broad variety of options to choose from."

View Article  Informed, entertained and not interrupted

If you stop to take a moment and look at the myriad of consumer content out there, from social networking sites to photo sharing, online video and others, you can begin to boil it down to some pretty basic fundamentals that we, as marketers, can learn from. Consumers want to be part of a bigger community. They want to be informed [with information relevant to them] and entertained. Not interrupted.

Somewhere along the way, marketers realized that if they couldn’t reach a mass audience on TV they could reach them through other methods in their daily lives, be it coffee shop or beauty parlor. The result? ‘Cut through the clutter’ has not only become one of the most over-used phrases today, it has also become somewhat of an oxymoron. As you begin to brainstorm those great creative ideas think to yourself: Are you engaging the consumer in a natural and organic way? Or forcing yourself into their lives? Are you just adding to the clutter?

View Article  News Search Engines: The Internet Public Relations Opportunity


News search engines represent a significant new opportunity for both Internet public relations specialists and traditional media relations professionals.

Some 50 million Americans turn to the Internet for news on a typical day, reports the Pew Internet & American Life Project. This is a new high-water mark for online news-gathering that coincides with rapid growth of broadband adoption in American homes.

A significant percentage of these people use Yahoo! News, Google News, and other news search engines to find the latest information about a wide range of topics that interest them. According to Hitwise, the market share of Yahoo! News and Google News rivals other news and media websites such as CNN.com, MSNBC, USA Today, The New York Times, and BBC News.

News search engines represent a significant new opportunity for traditional media relations professionals, too. Bennett & Company's latest media survey found that online research remains the number one source for journalists to obtain additional story information. 75% of journalists search the Internet for previous stories on their subject.
