Capabilities

• Takes advantage of muli-threading
• Can post status updates to Twitter and Facebook
• Displays local weather and traffic
• OCRemix latest remixes mp3 player
• Shows new comments on my Flickr photos
• Sends and receives Gmail
• Fully functional YouTube player (can even search for new videos)
• Each module updates automatically after 1 hour but user can update at will by clicking the modules logo.
• Toggles fullscreen, on and off with F10, similar to a mac dashboard, but better:)

Many hours of research were necessary to make this happen. I've still got some memory testing to under go, but it's stable and I've shot down the memory leaks.

OLD POST:

I've been working on this project for about a month now. It's a Mac-like dashboard but for Windows. The idea is that instead of lame widgets that I'll never use, I've combined every main site that I frequent along with several main social networks via their api's and browser impersonating web requests to create one centralized location where all my interested live data is found. (All I have to do is hit F10 to toggle it!, or whatever key you decide to bind it to).

It's a C# win form, that goes fullscreen and hides the taskbar. It embeds flash through an Active-X control that has all the "widgets" for you to interact with. It's transparent too so you can see straight through to your desktop background.

So far I've developed modules for

• Facebook (can post status update)
  
• Gmail (can preview, and send emails)
• Twitter (can post status update)
• Flickr (can see any new photo comments on my photostream)
• OCRemix.org (plays any selected new remix locally in the flash file)
• local weather
• local traffic (gives me live traffic updates...I live in the city so that helps)

I'm currently working on a YouTube player module that will be able to play/search any video on youtube.

I'll post more soon when I get it finished!
