For a while now I've been working with the concept of making an online utility that allows users to easily create and manage their online 'routine' putting:
-Bookmarks/links
-notes
-tasks
-RSS feeds
-web tools (youtube, hulu, crossword, web search, music, drawing pad)
-social chat and social updates
all on one page, multi-tasking harmoniously together in one browser tab. For example, with the right 'tools' on your desktop you could watch a show on hulu, chat with facebook friends, work on the crossword and drink your coffee all at the same time.
After working through a few ideas I recently found an HTML5 application that has helped make the idea possible. Utilizing the browser cache, it's easy to install, fast and private. I've been testing as I've been building but now I could use some user feedback. The link below brings you to the http://workola.com 'desktop'.

I built a toolkit with some 'tools' to help get things started.

This is an HTML5 application and only works with chrome, safari and opera browsers. Takes about 5 minutes to download chrome and add a few tools, links and/or RSS feeds. You can also create multiple projects, each with their own set of tasks, ideas, links, etc.
I set it as my chrome homepage, removed all the toolbars and just keep the tab open all day. I also added a cool little weather widget from yowindow that works as a screensaver. I call it an 'Interactive Desktop'.
