ADVERTISEMENTS

Schmedley is a web widgets platform. Schmedley combines the convenience of “widgets” on a customizable “homepage” that act as a “front door” to a suite of more complex, feature-rich web services applications.

Schmedley has a clean and easy-to-use interface,which is very similar to Apple’s Dashboard. Schmedley provides you mini-applications or widgets that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information. You can check stocks, read RSS feeds, shop on Amazon, create sticky notes, make travel plans, manage your calendar, send text messages, IM, etc.

Schmedley is so much more than that. The Web 2.0 world is overrun with “startpages” that are filled with handy little items called widgets. Most of these widgets have limited functionality and don’t offer much more than an alternative door into content that is already easy to get elsewhere - like RSS news and blog feeds, etc.

Schmidgets
Schmedley calls their widgets “schmidgets”. There are a number of widgets such as GMail, Image, Amazon, Stock, Whether, Search, Calendar, Sticky Notes, RSS news and blog feeds, etc. You can drag them around, resize them, and reconfigure them.

Rich Content Applications
A suite of web services applications that handle the most common, daily tasks of a broad range of internet users. Broken down by category, each application (schmedley “channel”) is represented by an icon in the schmedley toolbar at the top of every page.
