Today, we’ll pick up where we’ve left off last time: let’s look into the rest of the features and additions to the only bookmarking service you’ll ever need—PortalPanel.
The newest part to get a complete makeover is the widgets area. All four widgets—Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yahoo Weather—have been completely reworked to add more functionality, convenience, and some really nice looks too.
We want you to be able to take a full advantage of what the widgets have to offer, so take a minute and read this post. The post also serves as a brief ‘how to’ guide, as most of the widgets will have to be removed and added again in order for the new features to be activated.
All widgets are now sleeker; this way, new features flow as opposed to being crammed into the relatively small area. Each widget is also given a new set of tooltips. If not sure of what the little icons mean, just bring your cursor to the area in question and the tooltip will tell you exactly what the function of each icon is.
Now, let’s take a look at each widget.

If you’ve been following our Facebook and Twitter posts (which you should), you probably noticed a series of tips related to new features and improved functionality of PortalPanel. Finally, we got around to providing a summary of major changes and additions. This is the first post of a few to be published within next couple of weeks or so, dedicated for outlining those features.
To be perfectly honest with you, we find the calendar app a little bit controversial and experimental part of PortalPanel (and apparently it’s a good thing). When designing it, we were well aware it may be considered redundant, especially among tech-savvy, app-consuming, business-oriented users. Expecting that thousands will flock to it and switch from Outlook, Google Calendar or other well established app to our pretty little thing would be naïve, and we’re anything but.
When was the last time you stumbled upon an interesting website, found a homepage of a restaurant that you may want to check out in the near future or had your attention captured by an article which may not be appropriate for sharing on Facebook, but you would like to read it sometime soon, in your privacy? Two weeks ago, three days ago, yesterday? And what happened to that website or an article? Most likely, you got distracted by something else on the web and forgot about it right away. You may, however, bookmarked it using your browsers built-in bookmarking tool and blissfully forgot about it as well. Why is so? Because I would bet my money on the fact that you, our dear reader, have tens, if not hundreds of bookmarks saved in your browser and you have no idea what they are about or how to find the right one. I’m sure there are a lot less messy cars zipping through the streets of Chicago than there are messy bookmark sections owned by the good citizens of the same City of Big Shoulders.
There is no shortage of online bookmarking tools. And yet we are certain you are going to find a place for PortalPanel in your daily routine of consuming and organizing web content. Why? Because PortalPanel is different. How? Find a few reasons below.
