Google Wins Again The AJAX desktop space is as competitive as can be. WyaWidget was working hard at staying compatible with the 3 leaders (iGoogle, NetVibes, Pageflakes). So far this has not been an easy task. When WyaWidget was first launched it targeted iGoogle, but iGoogle was pretty plain and unable to share tabs. Netvibes was probably the nicest, but that was before some upgrades and it was running slow. It seemed the easiest and best place WyaWidget fit in was with Pageflakes. At that time Pageflakes was simple & easy, clean & fast, and made their features such as sharing tabs easy for everyone.

Well, time has passed... Pageflakes has released Blizzard... things don't work the same as they use it... Until the bugs are worked out, Pageflakes is no longer a WyaWidget favorite... in fact even the Add To Pageflakes button from our website doesn't work right anymore...(if you use IE) you have to setup pageflakes as a trusted domain before adding it (yuk). Netvibes has become a lot better and I believe when they get the kinks worked out of the UWA (universal widget api), that it will be even better. Not sure if I would prefer it to iGoogle, but to WyaWidget it's an obvious victor - iGoogle.

Google has come a long way with iGoogle. The major reason of WyaWidget's devotion, it remains consistent and working! The APIs aren't all of the sudden broken! Besides the wonderful consistency, they've advanced in both aesthetics and functionality. Probably the most important advancement is the Share the Tabs feature... and once again Google seems to do it the best. In conclusion, you can still pick your poison to place WyaWidget, but if you give them all a try, it's probably going to end up being the same place you continue to search.  ¶ 12:37 PM 7 Comments
