Seriously, I do not know how much a project like this would be benefecial to you, and whether it would be a mainstream in near future, but I’ve been seeing many new ‘desktop sites’ lately which aims to be the start page of your browser.
Typically, they are a RSS aggregrator with a blend of Ajax and CSS so that you can move the ‘windows’ or panels around, and update the sections without having to reload the page.
Protopage is the new kid in this arena which has recently gone Version 2.0. Unlike ‘competitors’ like Google Personalized, Start.com (we are not affiliated, by the way), Netvibes and Zoozio, Protopage lets you move the panels freely without having to ‘dock’ the panels to the invisible alignment lines. Panels are resizable and can be minimized too.
Useful or not, Protopage is definitely a showcase of smart CSS and Ajax usage.
