I know I don't talk a lot here about the work I do other than vague mentions of technology but this post is different. We launched some new stuff yesterday to myEarthLink and I think it is pretty cool. Lest you think I'm just tooting my own horn, I had nothing to do with either of these new pieces.
The first is the ability to drag-and-drop various widgets on the screen. During the drag process, you will see the widget ghosted out, hovering over the spot it will land. I think this is a very nice way of presenting what the new look will be before the actual dropping. Most of the heavy lifting was done by Phrenchee.
The other new thing is an updated sports widget. The previous widget was just pathetic. It didn't look good nor did it give much data. The new one though just rocks. You can see previous, current and future games. If you hover over the final score, you'll see a quick summary. It just is so much nicer than what was there.
If you haven't signed up for myEarthLink, you can do so at this registration page. Don't worry, you aren't signing up for EarthLink access, just for access to things like our portal. There are going to be plenty of new things coming down the pipe so why not sign up early.
