SmartSite - build a web2.0 mashup with Joomla!

If you're familiar with Pageflakes or Netvibes, you may have noticed those little widges that you can rearrange around the page, as if it was a desktop of your favorite operating system. In fact, those widgets look much like app windows (with minimize and close buttons on the top). Can we turn regular Joomla modules into widgets? The answer is YES - with SmartSite! Just imagine - your users can now clone and customize any module, rearrange them on a page as they like and these changes will be visible only to them! "Real" modules created by administrator will be kept untouched. How does this work? SmartSite basically treats Joomla modules as customizable widgets. It keeps users' preferences in the database and allows to have multiple copies of the same module on a page.
