Online content made personal – flavors.me
Flavors.me is a fabulous solution to centralize all of your online content. I was just browsing the web and came across Leonieke’s page and decided to see how easy it is to actually use. Setting up a page took me only 2 mins, and about 5 mins in total to personalise the page further with fonts, colours and a background.
With so many different web services out there it can be difficult and time consuming to pull them all together. Flavors.me does all of that for you. You can add several well known services like: Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn and even multiple RSS feeds. If you are thinking of making a personal website but don’t really want to have to update yet another page you can also upgrade your account with a personal url.
I made my Flavors.me page a couple of months ago. And like you said setting up is a breeze. Tweaking the design to my liking took more time. Although the default design is not bad at all, I think you should change it. It is your personal page, right?
What i like is that Flavors.me use oAUTH. Which is great ’cause it means that your passwords are safe. They don’t reside on their servers. And you can revoke access from the individual service page, e.g. Twitter. Flavors.me doesn’t update in realtime so your posts show up somewhat delayed, and there is no way you can force the page to be updated. I do have some some issues with my Facebook posts. And apparently I’m not the only one.
But all in all it’s a great free service to combine all your online content.

Great point Henry about the password safety. I didn’t yet link my Facebook page, not sure if I will. I really like your Flavors.me page, great background.
