Brad Isaac over at Achieve-IT! points to Fold, a new up-and-coming "web desktop" (currently in beta) that offers portable desktop-like functionality on a website. The feature list is fairly basic at this point, with the usual suspects present: RSS, notepad, calendar, weather and Flickr modules, but there are a couple of unique ones as well, specifically HTML and Flash containers.

The idea between the HTML and Flash containers is that simply put, if there is web content out there somewhere that you'd like to integrate into your Fold desktop, they are giving you the flexibility to do just that. I like it. Unfortunately, I'm still not a big fan of a web page that emulates a windowing system paradigm. I have no desire to drag little window containers around on a website. For now I'll stick with NetVibes or Google Personalized.
