I love the fastest browser in the world too much to switch for a website. Please let me know when pageflakes will play in it. That sounds great Ole, too bad it just doesn’t work in Opera.

Have you tried http://www.pageflakes.com already? It's a similar service but offers additional features such as multiple pages and a larger number of modules and feeds.

]]> Comment on What do you say about Say-So? by Chris Wilson http://surfcast.r-l-w.net/index.php/2005/11/10/what-do-you-say-about-say-so/#comment-5 Chris Wilson Thu, 17 Nov 2005 01:51:04 +0000 http://surfcast.r-l-w.net/index.php/2005/11/10/what-do-you-say-about-say-so/#comment-5 Hey Roger! Thanks for the review of Say-So, that's a great overview of its features (and way to go using the sticker!). Just wanted to point out something on the security model -- the "blessed URL" which gives you access to manage your Say-So's is a 32-character string, which could be considered "security through obscurity," however compared to an 8 character username and 8 character password, it would theoretically be a lot harder to crack than a typical login. Not to say there aren't weaknesses -- if you access it from a public computer and don't erase your history, you could leave the manager URL behind, for example. We considered what most people would be using Say-So for, and figured the ease of use was the real key. We decided on this model somewhat after looking at how Craigslist handles registrations for posts. Again, thanks for the thoughtful write-up, drop us a line if you've got any feedback!
