- jmerox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5pretty slick... it's funny how JS applications are starting to look more and more like flash.
- mixd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4feels much lighter than most other apps like this - and looks better - good job moo

- kamicane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I really like the fact the mooglets snap back in position when you drag them out of the visible area!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2genius.
- Heloym, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Totally awesome, ultra light and fresh. Feels like a true Mac Osx Widget, amazing!
I think i will rethink my personal website...another time ;-)
Cool work guys, rocks like no others. - er0k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2pfff not ditching netvibes for that
- WATYF, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In it's current state... it is what it is... incompatible. I'm really not interested in researching this product's entire developement so I can make a future proof statement... I'm talking about now. And right now, I can't even test the thing out at work, so it's not very good, even for beta.
And if I had to *guess* about whether or not they're going to add it... well... their own website definitely doesn't suggest so... when you go there using IE6, you get this friendly message:
"Sorry, mooglets works only with standards-compliant browsers. Since you are on windows, why dont you get... Firefox."
My rant was based on *their* own suggestion that I download another browser, instead of them saying, "Hey... we're working on IE compatibility, please be patient."
WATYF - WATYF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not compatible with IE6 on WinXP???
I'll probably get dug down for this, but... I don't care how much of a "purist" you are, if you can't make your newest "gadget" work with the most prominent (by far) web browser on the planet, then you aren't doing a very good job. Whether you think some other browser is "better" or not is irrelevent, because this isn't even a useable product in the "real world". No one in their right mind would ever use this on a production website and expect the hordes of people that use IE to just say, "oh... ok... I'll just go install another browser just so I can view your webpage". That's a bit delusional.
Not to mention that many people at businesses have no choice but to use what their company provides for them (almost always IE) and that leaves all of them out in the cold.
I found the interface to be pretty smooth (not noticeably different than Google Home, though)... but the "add a mooglet" feature didn't work for anything other than what was already on the screen (I guess those ones aren't done yet?). The look and feel was nice (nice transparency), but I'd still mark this as lame for woefully insufficient compatibility.
WATYF - motang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yeah that is pretty cool, I want to get into AJAX one of these days. I guess after my senior project is a good time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1yes.. my evil twin is in fact correct, your are genius's.
- hairyfreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You guys are amazing. I don't see how you aren't absolutely massive yet, with all of the great stuff you keep releasing.
- er0k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2oops
- prubini87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it's at least lazy not to adapt the top bar of the website to look right in IE, unless you wanna profit on people downloading Firefox, which is quite a possibility no ;D
- halokiller27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This Rules nuff said use it right now
http://mooglets.freewebsfarms.com/ - prubini87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it's pretty but one's gotta agree that IE compatibility is a must, no matter how crappy the most used browser in the world is :P
mooglets is pretty though and as a designer, there you have my support ;D - elder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Oh yes, i truly love that. That is gummy & happy.
- diggone, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0good job. you got it. i like to dig :)
- nickelLoafers, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Personally, I dont think this is anything special. Programming something in JS to be drag and drop is easy, programming something to snap inside two objects (like netvibes) is a bit harder. Nothing on this page is new, it's all been done by several others. Protopage (http://www.protopage.com/v2) has done this for a long time, with more effects (like resizing objects) and more options to put on it.
