DEMO Says
The concept of packaging is big these days; with so much content to absorb, receiving updates in tightly integrated modules is very appealing. That’s why Koollage’s Pods are intriguing to us. Take anything from the Web or your desktop and package it into a portable, automatically updated, mini-blog. Have 10 blogs you absolutely must keep up with? Package them together and put the Pod on your Facebook page or your iPhone — anywhere you need to conveniently access it. It’s an innovative take on information-on-the-go.
