Allowing a framework to do this allows many developers, new and old who can roll out apps faster than libraries to allow such rich interfaces... Similar UI's have been around, I see iGoogle being mentioned above. Opera's Speed Dial is probably the inspiration, though Opera is not a web app... I personally dont find much to gain by such interfaces for reading news or pages, though a more intuitive technique would be more like nested GUI's which allow apps running inside each widget so to say...

I have always hated flash but the stuff you all are doing with it is starting to change my mind. Everyday I find myself on playfish in Facebook having a blast with their games. Perhaps this is just a technology that grows on a person. That said I can't help but wonder if the gloss you see in flash reflects more ambient light making it harder on the eyes. The one thing I don't like is how images that are blurry come into focus. Bothers my eyes and gives me a headache. It is cool when guys take the time to respond to people’s question.

Common sense usability dictates that GUI should be *intuitive*. If it has to be taught, it can't be a very good GUI. Does Windows have to explain how the Start button works? Do browsers have to give a powerpoint presentation to teach tabs? Other than that, I'm also not sure what problem this solves. Is it really that difficult for me to visit my favorite websites? We seem to be swinging back to 90's when portals crammed with everything was all the rage, without any evidence that users like or want this stuff. Oh God.

A new version popped up on my page a few weeks ago with a maximise/minimize button which makes it easy to get a full-page view of any 'installed' widgets. The action is a little inconsistent at the moment and the Gmail page view lacks reply, forward and attachment options, but it's probably another notch in the online OS method.
