Schmedley: personal startpage with an OS feel
For a long time I was an unconditional fan of iGoogle as my personal start page. A few weeks ago I decided to try Netvibes and thought it was as nice as iGoogle, but with a better design. A few minutes ago I came across Shmedley, and I just decided what will be my start page moving forward.
Schmedley is not really a Web OS (since you can't upload files and work on them), but it really looks like I'm taking my iMac with me on the web. According to their self-description:
What began as just a startpage with widgets has morphed into a personalized launch pad, where every tool you need to communicate, catch up with your interests, share digital content and express yourself online is organized into one convenient place - all your email accounts, social networks, instant messaging, applications and more - accessible from any computer, anywhere in the world.
And because you can create multiple “desktops”, each one can have a unique and different purpose. Use one for catching up with friends by loading up schmidgets for Facebook and Twitter along with a few email accounts. Use another for news items - RSS feeds, current weather forecast, and NASDAQ stock market data for example. And maybe another for games and entertainment. schmedley has lots of schmidgets (widgets) to enhance your daily, personal productivity, and we will always be adding more.
I'll play with it a lot more, but so far I'm loving Schmedley. Create your own page here.
