I’m Thinking Flash Desktop

YourMinis is a Flash-based customizable homepage product that will compete for users with a number of similar products that use Ajax – Netvibes, Pageflakes, Google, Live.com and more. This was launched by a startup called Goowy, which created a flash-based productivity suite (email, calendar, IM, etc.) last year – see here for our Goowy coverage.

I would really like to a CALI centric sort of thing designed like this.  A portal that brings students to their courses, lessons, library, etc.  Would be cool.
