This does look promising for mainstream users, not early adopters. As a Godaddy customer i'm finding it hard to relate Godaddy with Friendly UI, although they have improved their site lately. I'm gonna try this service, interesting to see if they somehow integrate it with currently owned domains and hosting packages (they already offer paying customers lots of other free services). Thanks a bunch for the detailed update.

Sarah, It is quite an interesting story. It seems GoDaddy becoming a new competitor to sites like Netvibes, or even Ning. But certainly it is a good move for GoDaddy.com since it sells new domains. Moreover, GoDaddy may naturally integrate its SmartSpace service into its existing subscription-based business model, which could be a significant advantage over its free-subscription competitors such as Netvibes, especially in this economic downturn. Good move, GoDaddy! Yihong

@Not with GoDaddy :-) I would be glad if your claim could be true. Actually, I am not cheering for GoDaddy. I just believe that this is a positive move for the site if it look for growing. Be honest, its business model would be better than the Netvibes though I have no confident at this moment that its service could be better than Netvibes. Netvibes is so far quite cool. Yihong
