Goowy, built primarily with Flash for rendering of the user interface, integrates features such as online file storage, email, and instant messaging to provide a unique user experience. Goowy provides features such as:

  • Instant Messaging from AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and icq.
  • 1GB of free online file storage provided by box.net
  • 2GB of email space with ability to access your Hotmail and Gmail accounts.
  • Built in Calendar and Contact system with ability to import contacts.
  • Widget system called "Minis"

At first, I thought the service was flawless (which anything hardly is). After a while, I noticed no multi-window support. I could not have my Buddy List and my feed window up at the same time. Also, there are not any close buttons for Email, Calendar, and Contacts, which really brought down Goowy's overall score with me. Though the service does provide some nice features, the overall lacking of a proper close button, and multi-window support causes goowy to get a four out of ten.
