AOL Ditches YourMini’s Startpage To Concentrate On Building Widgets

by Jason Wilk on October 21, 2008

  • Yourmini’s is the AOL startpage concept that spwaned from their pucahse of Goowy’s in 2006.
  • The site was similar to iGoogle, providing a homepage to add widgets created by Yourmini’s that could be exported to work on the desktop or on other destinations (iGoogle, Pageflakes, Blogs, Websites)
  • Today they announced that on Oct. 27th, they will be shutting down the homepage business and urge users to export their Yourmini widgets to other destinations where they will still work.
  • They have decided that they will just focus on making widgets as their startpage has yet to gain as much traction as the widgets themselves. Best of luck guys.
