schmedley.com - A different sort of home page

schmedley.com

For those of you who did not take to Netvibes because it was either too complicated or not attractive enough for you, you may want to bookmark Schmedley.

The authors are taking a fundamentally different approach with this start page. Not only is the presentation much more beautiful than its competitors, but it "serves" you the web rather than "smashing" it together.

I could spend a few more paragraphs trying to explain what I mean by that, but I think it is better if you simply go check it out :). Take special notice of the channels up top (my favorite being the weather, stocks, and amazon) and see how they are serving you your favorite websites in a much more compressed and intuitive environment.


With email widgets (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, and pop3) about to be released and the prospect of eBay (with snipe!), calendar, and radio channels, Schmedley (even at it's alpha state) is looking to become a very comfortable place to be.

It is not possible for me to agree more. I love this page and have it as my homepage on all three computers I have at home.
