Welcome to yaywastaken.com!

What the hell is this thing? "yay" is a set of browser-based widgets that I originally created for my own use. I hope you'll find them useful --- yaywastaken.com makes a super home page!

The modules along the left side of the page are kept in a semi-persistent frame, so they're always available ... the idea is to keep all the tools you need in one place. And since it's all server-based, you can have the same setup on your home computer that you do at work. Never lose another favorite link!

New modules are always being added ... you can reorder them or get rid of ones you don't use. Don't worry about it, because you can always use the dropdown at the bottom to get them back. Currently the following modules are available:
  • SuperBox - A one-stop place to handle all kinds web "lookup" tasks.
  • Favorites - All your bookmarks, available from any computer!
  • eBay Bidwatch* - Enter your eBay (TM) username and we'll keep tabs on all your bids.
  • Weblogs Monitor* - From the deep to the inane, folks are documenting their lives.
  • Slashdot Headlines* - As they say, news for nerds.
  • Yahoo Modules* - Put your favorite my.yahoo.com modules into your yay pane!
  • Notepad - A quick scratch pad. Write down that Amazon order number.
  • Clock - Well duh. But it's also a stopwatch.
  • Calculator - A quick-and-dirty tool for doing computation and conversions.
  • Custom* - Build your own module to do anything you want!
  • Syndication* - Import RSS xml feeds from all over the web.
  • Email* - Preview your POP3 email (and clean out spam) without ever leaving ywt!
* Add these modules to your yay pane using the dropdown at the bottom of the window.

Play around and enjoy the site. I highly recommend creating an account, but you don't need to. Try making us your homepage for a few days --- you'll never go back! Just click here to get started.
