Came across
PageFlakes today which continues along the AJAX bandwagon but interestingly for me continues down the personalisation and customisation route like
www.google.com/ig and
www.live.com.
I personally I think this is better than live.com for sure and has more features than google.com/ig. Will follow this one with interest as my final year thesis at university was on this using my inline hockey community web site as the basis to let users display results, league tables, news etc. they wanted to see back in 2003.
