Scratch

I checked it out and I am not really a fan of it. All it seems to do is use search engine to look up scratch stuff which is something I could do my self if I wanted. Also, there doesn't really seem to be a lot of stuff that shows what can be done with scratch. Most stuff there just introduces scratch or talks about its license.

I think it would be nice if it featured more stuff from scratch users instead of just generating stuff though google.

On the other hand, it aggregates all the cool photos and tweets that andresmh et al. create from time to time, so I think that's pretty cool.

Thanks for the feedback. The page is nothing more than a customized Netvibes page, so yes, in that sense, yes, it is similar to iGoogle :-)

We basically wanted a place where you could find info people are posting about Scratch on other sites. We also wanted to give a glimpse at what some of the members of the Scratch Team are doing. Some of us are users of other websites such as YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc, and it might give you an idea of what we are up to.

We didn't want to spend a lot of time building some customized page so Netvibes offered a quick and nice solution.

Let me know how we can improve it.

I liked the idea, but I don't think that Netvibes offered anything to the scratch community, after all, it just offers gadgets etc. which in my opinion don't help anyone.

What I think would help scratch a lot, would be similar to netvibes, but allow you to make your own webpage, and arrange your projects, ideas etc how you want them. I think this would attract a lot more people and would let people see more than just a project. Also, I signed up because I thought you might be able to play your scratch games on your page, however you couldn't (as far as I know) I was going to use it for my homepage for scratch.

Nice idea for some people though
