Schmedley.com - So Much More than a Startpage

Schmedley is the startpage that has so much more to offer. It is definitely the most visually appealing of the startpages out there, and their widgets, or schmidgets, are designed in a way that makes your web life so much easier.

Some of the schmidgets currently available include a search platform that lets you search from three of the main search engines out there at one time on one page, a weather tracker, movie listings as well as previews for upcoming movies, a stock tracker, an RSS reader, an airfare finder, and much more. The IM client they use is Meebo, allowing you to chat on any of the IM services out there from one convenient spot.

“This is what schmedley is all about - we have embraced the web as a platform - to deploy a suite of web services applications that handle the most common, daily tasks of a broad range of internet users. Broken down by category, each application (schmedley “channel”) is represented by an icon in the schmedley toolbar at the top of every page. Each channel offers data that is diverse and sometimes hard to get at, and organizes it into one clean, easy-to-use interface. In many cases schmedley becomes a content provider, dedicated to offering an innovative way to carry out different web searches and perform specific tasks while gathering data from various sources. Even greater functionality is achieved by giving users the ability to store and manipulate personalized data relevant to each task at hand.”

They´ve designed the startpage in a different way from what is already out there, and their interface is very much like Apple´s, which has proved to be very popular. It´s a convenient tool and really easy to use. They also already have a lot of partners and sponsors they are working with.
