Also they are limited by their parent - web browser - and connection speed. Who needs to create his powerpoint presentation on the web page? With crying small count of options? Me not.

(Please recall that AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). I would have actually viewed the source before making a Digg post.

Please make sure you try out the desktop exe that brings the power of goowy directly to your desktop. We are currently working on more powerful widget (we just launched the delicious widget take a look it also integrates with our rss reader). In addition we have virtual storage and IM in the works. Stay tuned and please help spread the word. - Alex Alex,
