We're pleased to let you know that Beta B of KlipFolio 4 is available for download!
Our focus for Beta B was to address your feedback from Beta A. In particular, this resulted in new ways to manage sidebar and strip visibility; auto-hide, reserved space, always on top and--of course--normal window layering. We've also added auto-saved layouts, so that KlipFolio will now remember the last sidebar or floating layout you used while moving sidebars and strips around.
Check out this short video that shows off the new layout capabilities:
As always, there is so much more in terms of fixes and improvements that you're best off just going ahead and downloading it.
Just before the holidays, Newsweek published a much talked about article entitled, The year of the widget? But it was the question mark punctuating the title that really told the story. Taking a look at all of the discussion it generated, people were not really united about any one thing. What shall we call these things? Will there be consolidation among vendors, and for that matter, are any of the widget shops actually making money? Is this web 2.0? What is the true rate of adoption? And the list goes on...
It sounded a lot like the pre-chasm chatter we heard back when RSS started making news (again) 5 years ago (see Moore, Chrossing the Chasm). For that matter, what are the chances that you, reading this post, aren't an early adopter?
The biggest story about widgets is yet to be told. But we don't think it'll be this year, and we don't think it'll even be about widgets.
