I sit at the computer at work – then on the weekends or an occasional weeknight at home. Without a laptop though I hate the fact that I can’t access all of the “comforts” my personalized work computer. I want a calendar, my e-mail, my links, my blog and just a sense of continuity. To that end I’ve been looking at desktops – protopage, page flakes, and Goowy. None of the sites have exactly what I want – page flakes is too unstable and takes too long to load even with my fast connection, Goowy looks cool and I like the e-mail interface, but I just am not in love with the rest of it, and Protopage is kind of boring. In a perfect world I’d really have my own personal web page with which I synch my work computer. Sort of an online Palm pilot. Hmm… more research needs to be done. At least I’m becoming familiar with this new Web 2.0 and its products – blogs, browsers, search engines, RSS and search tools. The common denominator may be their Web 2.0 technology, but I think it is really their crazy nomenclature: kiko, Meebo, Gooey, Eskobo, Zoozio, Skobee, Awasu, Squeet, Zoho, Zazzle, Boing Boing, Jookster, Squidoo, and Crazy Egg!!
