Blogger, PageFlakes, and Furl or whatever!

They all suck! Simply put. Blogger, is amazingly slow and only oriented on getting a high number of users, rather then friendships, and community. Plus I have trouble logging in due to their incompetence what ever that may be. PAGE flakes. They should still be in Beta! They have features that are unusable and the interface is way to confusing to manage. I give kudos to Blogger for a having a simple layout for those who are not internet savvy. But here is a girl (me) who has made her computer and internet an extension of her self. Like art, comics, cartoons, music, family, etc. and to say that I can not get page flakes and flurl or Furl whatever it’s called was too hard to figure it out!!! Now I must say they are great ideas. But instead of going to that place why don’t I just make my own .html page for my links on my .com that I have and it’s all done. I can edit it anywhere and it’s a simple html cut and paste! Ill keep Furl around but I don't trust them either. They seem too open!!! They need to have their links pages a bit more, personal. People oriented, then with the choice of the user make their page free for others to search etc. Plus I tend to remember all my links by heart, and remember Google is a best friend!!! I named him bob. Online communities I recommend. It depends on what you are looking for. If it’s a web site that helps keep your links organized, I have no idea, and I would need to search for a better one. As for a page that has so many things as Pageflakes, I still have no idea, they are great ideas, but their layout is way to confusing, plain, and ugly, there isn’t enough customization, and it feels to unsafe for me. Right now I am very much into Zaadz http://www.zaadz.com/ This is a site in BETA so be prepared, but so far, I have had little to NO problems. This is a smart online community, they waited long enough so that most bugs were taken care of and BETA for them means, lets see what are users want out of us and lets make it EASY!!! Join ZAADZ and see all of the GREAT stuff you can do!!! You can make a basic user page, it isn’t customizable, yet, but their layout is beautiful yet very simple. You can upload as many photos as you like I’m sure when they are out of beta future users wont get this great plus, so sign up now! Right now loading images is tedious but they make it simple enough that I want to keep going! You can organize your photo albums as well. It’s not perfect but nice :D You can add stuff that you like to zaadz, like books. You can leave a list of favorite books, then after that go through their database of hundreds of books and add the ones you like, want to read, read, and have, or want! And it’s all quickly customizable, and they are still working on making that side even faster! Add your favorite quotes; all of your quotes are now available for other users to add! Add your idea for zaadz, like pizza delivery from zaadz or a savable search! Then get users to join in the idea, post comments about it, and zaadz looks at all of these based on popularity! SEARCH other zaadzters by name, location and or love (love is what that person likes!) I search up, Arizona who loves art all the time! I used to use livejournal all of the time. I met such wonderful people there. I restarted a blog, I don’t know if I will keep it up but it was my first and I like it. Ill add more communities later!
