Pageonce personal start page launches public beta

by Brad Linder Jun 3rd 2008

Pageonce is a personal start page that gives you access to the web services you use most frequently. While other start pages like iGoogle or Netvibes let you read updates from a variety of RSS feeds, Pageonce goes a few steps further, letting you add ~~email accounts, social networking profiles~~, bank and credit card accounts, airlines, and shopping sites.

We first looked at Pageonce back in February when the service was in private beta. But today the company launched a public beta meaning anybody who's willing to part with a few usernames and passwords can sign up. We're still a bit wary of any site that asks for your bank login information. But we can also see how it would be useful to have all of your financial information at your fingertips without having to login to a half dozen different sites every day to check your account balances.

Pageonce has added a few features since February, including a news feed that gives you a run down of changes across all of your registered services.

You hinted that Netvibes doesn't do "letting you add email accounts, social networking profiles" - you CAN do that with Netvibes... at least with Facebook and with gmail.

Ever used Netvibes? Stopped reading at that instant.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
