Make widgets from web pages

We had written about 360Desktop which had a feature of making widgets out of web pages, but if you only want to make web pages out of web pages then Snippage is a great tool.

What

Snippage is a utility based on Adobe AIR which can be used to make widgets or snips of webpages and displays them on desktop. Snippage is a really nice AIR implementation of the ‘web snippets’ concept. Just like you can take a clip of a website with Safari on the Mac and display it on your dashboard, Snippage brings you the same functionality cross browser with Adobe AIR.

Who

Snippage has been developed by Gabo Mendoza a flash developer.

How

Snippage is based on Adobe AIR. You need Adobe AIR installed to install snippage.

Use Snippage:

Once you launch Snippage you are presented with a browser like window. Enter the webpage you want to widgetize.
The snip highlight box has three hot corners.
Move the snip marks with our arrowed mark on left top corner.
Resize the snip with the pointer on right bottom corner.
Snip the website to make widget with the scissor mark on right top corner.
In the snip view one can set the refresh time of the snip to do not refresh, refresh every 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 3 hours.

Why

Pros: Snippage brings the “web snippets” function to your windows pc and it is really very tiny utility
