Is Schmedley just another startup page/portal like netvibes, pageflakes etc? We believe otherwise. No doubt they have similar product but the difference is in the way they present the data in terms of schmidgets. The user experience is something which is very different over here.
What Schmedley has done is organized schmidgets into pockets/pages of functionality and provided a common interface for users to access them. For example, if you are traveling, you can go to the airfare section of schemedley and search across three major (expedia, travelocity, orbitz) sites with one search click and see results from all three sites together on one page. The site allows you to navigate results for each site individually.
The one I liked the most was their movies page. You enter a zip, it lists you all the theaters on the extreme left. Click on one theater and it lists the movies playing there and the address of the theater. Further select a movie playing in that theater and it gives you the show timings, brief description and a short movie preview. All this on one page really makes it easy to use.
Some other categories/pages are:
- search
- images
- weather
- SMS
- stocks
- RSS
- airfare
- amazon
- IM
