AJAX here. AJAX there. We are flooded with tons of AJAX services abound, just look at the list here. Well, here's a Flash based one that's trying to fight through the Ajax babies out there. Good luck. Their interface is pretty nice but I'm getting overwhelmed with too many windows on my Windows dekstop now.
You can do this with Goowy
* IM with your buddies from aol, msn, yahoo and icq (Meebo way!)
* Upload, manage and share your files online (1GB FREE)
* Manage your email, contacts and calendar (2GB FREE)
* Organize your web data with a personalized start page
* Play games
Remember way back in 2005, when Web 2.0 was the hottest buzzword and companies were falling all over themselves to make AJAX desktops? While most of those companies offered similar features—inbound RSS feeds, drag-and-drop modules—a company named Goowy offered users something different.
Instead of building an AJAX start page, Goowy developed a Flash-based "webtop" that offered e-mail, video games, and robust customization options for power users. The goal, said CEO Alex Bard, was to design a Web-based system that wouldn't just be a start page, but an immersive online environment.

Colbert, that is a lot of hours! Wow -- it shows in the good posts at this site though. Thanks.... My problem with technology is that the thing I need is rarely the info I find. Take trackbacks -- I spent hours doin' em and half of my comments don't count. There are valid reasons and days later I am still trying to find 'em. Any ideas?
