Yourminis...

Sounding deceivingly like another site dedicated to skimming profits from the Ipod phenomenon, Yourminis has in fact nothing to do with that (nor does it have anything to do with the mini Entemann's powdered donuts...).

Instead Yourminis is a site giving you the ability to take your personalized Google start page to the next level. It combines the Vista side bar, the Mac widget thingy and all the neat things Web 2.0 has to offer.

Their clean and stylish ajax interface allows you to organize your widgets minis on your personal space. Everything from searching ebay or amazon to playing mp3s, from text editors to RSS feeds, from Rotten Tomatoes movie reviews to even access to your box.net files. Each mini has its own style and character, giving a comfortable user interface. And for the anal perfectionists out there, it even displays a grid when you're dragging the minis around.

Subtle neat thing they're doing? Allowing you to test out the service without signing in. Given my serious commitment issues, this is a neat chance to give this site a whirl, before giving them my email address!

What do I want to see on it? A mini for Pandora, then I would definitely use this as my start page and never leave.

This might become my Bloglines for everything-else-other-than-RSS-feeds.
