Schmedley: More Than Just A StartPage
Tweet
A quick test drive with Schmedley startpage gave me some good experience and great results within my search.
At first I thought this is no more than just another homepage with some cool widgets on it but at Schmedley, almost every widget is actually a channel. Each channel offers data that is diverse and sometimes hard to get at, and organizes it into one clean, easy-to-use interface. In many cases schmedley becomes a content provider, dedicated to offering an innovative way to carry out different web searches and perform specific tasks while gathering data from various sources. Even greater functionality is achieved by giving users the ability to store and manipulate personalized data relevant to each task at hand.
As a result of that you get rich Internet application that will allows you to:
Move the widgets (schmidgets) around the page to your liking, change the homepage background color and enter “default” values in some of the schmidget text fields. When you'll return to schmedley - your homepage will be just as you left it.

It's certianly very nice, but they still have a long way to go. hey might have waited a while and added a few more features before launch.
The interface is awesome!
I have reviewed it too.

i'm loving it. loving it. loving it...
Looks good, I guess I'll give it a try.
I am a big fan of Netvibes that I used since its launch, but, schmedley seems to be a great competitor! love the UI, and the categories...
The bad point is the name, schmedley, too hard to remember and pass on, don't you think ?

i actually think it's a pretty cool name (kinda funny) - regardless, this is one cool application. they say they're working on adding more features to the homepage. if some of you would have made it past the homepage you'd see that this schmedley is not exactly lacking in features. i say "good work" to the team that developed this one.
