Scrapplet: Drag and drop web page creator
The way you put together web pages is also interesting. You can add elements like pictures, embedded YouTube videos, or even embedded web pages with just a few clicks. Then you can rearrange elements by dragging and dropping them. Or you can right click on an element to delete it or modify its properties.
Want to use some custom HTML code in the header? You can do that too.
But what really sets Scrapplet apart from other web page builders is that you can embed your entire Scrapplet page on another web site. For example, you could create a Scrapplet page that your local newspaper's front page, weather forecast, and stock news and then embed it in your Facebook profile.
To be honest, the number of options available is a bit overwhelming, and I found it hard to figure out how to do basic things like change the background color of various widgets. But if you're looking for a highly customizable way to build a Netvibes like personal start page or a GeoCities like web site, you might want to check out Scrapplet.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Thanks for the peek at Scrapplet, we're having a lot of fun with it! A bunch of new stuff is getting ready to come out and Ill keep you posted. Also, on the business side, Scrapplet is free and does display an ad. You can make the ad go away (and lots more options) for as little as $2.95/month. The higher memberships are used by professionals and folks looking to host advanced web apps and to take advantage of the mashup platform built in to Scrapplet.
