yourminis attempting tri-fecta widget strategy
Patrick April 2nd, 2007
Like NetVibes and PageFlakes, YourMinis allows you to customize a collection of personalized web pages by dragging, dropping, configuring and arranging widgets. Content includes a wide variety of information sources–from major media outlets like ESPN, CNN and The New York Times–as well as fun stuff like a live webcam from SeaWorld.
But YourMinis is taking a broad-sweeping widget strategy, competing not only in this webtop category, but also taking on the WidgetBox Blidget service for turning any blog into a widget, and going head-to-head with the established desktop platforms: Apple’s Dashboard, Yahoo’s Widget Engine and Microsoft’s Windows Vista Gadgets. This is the first of what appears to be a comprehensive multi-platform widget strategy.
