And the winner is ... Pageflakes. Duh!

Two weeks back, Read Write Web started a poll on who's the most popular Start Page in the world now. The result is astonishing:

Pageflakes has got 30% vote, ahead of Google's Personalized Homepage (26%) and way ahead of Netvibes (21%). Many doubted this poll and thought it must have been an arranged poll by Pageflakes guys. But Read Write Web has declared Google to be the winner and Pageflakes #2 for some reason. Well, no problem. The mighty PC World has declared Pageflakes to be the #1 Start Page!

Read the article here.

Let's see now, how many awards we got so far. First there was the Web 2.0 awards by SEOMoz where Pageflakes raked #1 Start Page ahead of Google IG and Microsoft Live.com. Then there was the "Ajax King" award by InformationWeek which said Google is no longer the Ajax King, Pageflakes is. Then we got highest vote on ReadWriteWeb poll. Recently we won #1 Start Page title in PC World. Soon we hope to win the Emmy Awards, the Oscar, Miss Universe ...

Nice work, but you already knew that!

The Emmys, Oscars?  Who wants that!  Your much more talented than any Hollywood actor/artist; therefore, too talented for those liberal awards.

BTW, thanks for sharing your findings/knowledge on Code Project.

Peace...
