German startup Pageflakes, an Ajax-rich personized home page has undergone a major upgrade to its interface, which has just gone live today.
The page publishing feature, which enables users to share their pages with other people - as read-only or editable - is the type of community functionality that has been extended in the new version.
On the Pageflakes homepage it states:
You can have multiple pages. For each of them you can choose to keep it private, share it with friends or publish it on the web.

There seems to be a bit of an ‘arms race’ going on between all the start pages, regarding the number of widgets they have. Pageflakes has 120, while Netvibes has 391. Microsoft’s Live.com has 442 at this date. But all are dwarfed by Google Personalized Page, which boasts 1531 gadgets. Tho’some of Google’s widgets are pretty much just RSS feeds. My personal fav is netvibes for the look of it, but the Google’s start page is taking over (more practical)!

[…] Add those to the 391 already available and Netvibes are furlongs ahead of Microsoft’s Live.com with 442 to date. Then there’s the likes of Pageflakes with 120 widgets available, but then again Pageflakes are more community based and maybe less interested in a widget arms race. Afterall how many widgets do you need on your start page? […]
