First, I had an iGoogle page. You know the web-based dashboard you can fill up 'til your heart's content with widgets and a RSS reader for your feed?.

I loved iGoogle for about a month. Then, it was one too many crashes and finally it just froze up and lost all my preferences one day. I moved on to Pageflakes.

Pageflakes is a similar tool: a web-based dashboard with loads of widgets and a RSS feed reader. I customized it, as well. It doesn't have as many cool customization tools as iGoogle, but at least it worked better. Although, it too crashes from time to time.

Today was the proverbial Kiss O' Death. Everytime I click on a story in my reader, I get a popup asking me to make Pageflakes my homepage, with no option requesting not to be asked again.
It's more than annoying. I skim through lots of stories in my reader everyday.

I'm going to give Pageflakes the benefit of the doubt this is some flukey mistake and hope its corrected by tomorrow. Otherwise...
