AND THE WORD OF THE WEEK IS....WIDGET!
Now that I am blogging about personalized start up pages I thought it might be a good idea to explain the term "widget." It is a cute word for a really handy "mini-application." These mini-applications are what create a personalized start up page. You can choose from widgets such as virtual post it notes, local weather forecasters, news feeds, and even silly little games! If you decide to create your own personalized start-up page than you will be amazed at the number of widgets there are to choose from! One has to pick and choose wisely or the start-up page will become so chock full of widgets it may become overwhelming (at least in my experience).
I chose this Apple Dashboard page to give you a clearer idea of what I mean by widgets. If you purchase an Apple computer, it comes equipped with a personalized start up page of sorts called the Dashboard. You may add widgets to your dashboard to suit your own personalized needs. This is much like creating a personalized start-up page through Pageflakes, Netvibes, Yahoo or Google.
Read through the Apple Dashboard information and if you are feeling adventurous go on over to Pageflakes, Netvibes, Yahoo or Google and set up your own personalized start-up page full of wonderful widgets! Have fun! :)
