I was looking at the theme I used for some of my blogs and found a link to the creator’s web site. The site was pretty nifty, but simple…then I saw something even SMPLR! Hehehe…yeah, check out this site. Its supposed to act as your web browser home page. Don’t just look at it and assume its only a clean looking search box for google. Its more than that and its pretty sweet. Click on the Show More link and you’ll see a nice little web portal basically. The links in the portal I’ve found to be pretty minimal, but all great sites so far. You’ll wanna make this site your home page if you have need of something slick and simple for when you first open your browser.
The guy actually made this site for himself and for his friends, so don’t expect a lot of resources in the portal, but what is there is quality. You actually get the feeling that the guy made this really well BECAUSE he made it for himself and his friends. I really like this and its well thought-out. I give him props for not making it a big huge resource for everything and anything. The portal lives up to the name of the site and I like that about it – although there could be just a few in each category where some only have just one.
Now what an idea…He probably has AdSense or something with google and when anyone searches from the site and clicks on an ad he probably gets paid. I was thinking of combining this idea with another one I had and making a simple portal which actually is user-updated based on ratings given by users of the portal. Discussions could even go on over the ratings and such. I won’t give away all of the details for my grand idea, but when its done you’ll see.
