New Goowy Features

Goowy is getting even better! Using Flash technology, Goowy offers a virtual desktop complete with email, contacts, calendar, games, and, just announced to be in alpha testing: instant messenging and 1 GB of storage, via a box.net account. (For more info on Goowy, see my previous post; for more info on box.net, see this post). On the Goowy blog, posted on 3-28-06, they write:

Last night we launched a limited Alpha release of Goowy IM and File Storage.   We are rolling it out to everyone in phases.  If you want to be part of the early Alpha, please send us an email to comments@goowy.com requesting activation.  This functionality is only available to people with Flash 8.

This is great! I look forward to using the new features and having a desktop that can travel with me. If anyone is in the alpha test, leave some feedback here!
