Widgets, Dashboards: For many people, these are really very essential tools, though they perform really little jobs.You might have tried the Yahoo! Widget Engine, Google Desktop, gDesklets, etc. Did you know that something called ‘ Klipfolio‘ exists?

It’s the world’s smallest dashboard, as the site says, and you’ll forget the word ‘Widgets’ when you enter this sites. They’re all known by the name ‘ Klips‘. There are over 4000 Klips available, including normal things like todo lists, memory monitors, flickr explorers, email monitors, Youtube video trackers, etc.

There’s an inbuilt RSS support, so you could track your feeds easily.Klipfolio is multi-lingual, and supports around 30 lanuguages.

The entire interface is skinnable, meaning that you could customize it’s look to suit your taste.

Klip Folio

Klipfolio’s sidebars are intelligent, and by default, they ‘float’ on your desktop. Drag Klipfolio to the side of your screen, voila, there you have a neat sidebar with your clips, drag it to the top/bottom, you have a sidebar. Drag and drop your klips in any order, to customize the layout.

Send your favorite klips to your friends too, if you wish.Something I found here is that, it’s extremely light on system resources, than Google Desktop and others. Try it!
