If you want to create multiple pages, you can do so by creating different tabs for different pages . After working with your tabs, you can even publish them so that they can be shared with friends . For example I have a news tab which tracks news from BBC, ESPN, Mashable, Soccer etc . I have a general tab which contains Weather news, Calender, YouTube videos, my site’s feed etc .

The site has got a good collection of minis .There are minis such as Calculator, clock, notepad, weather indicator .

It also offers Desktop Integration using Adobe’s Apollo Technology . You need to install the Apollo runtime plugin along with Yourminis Apollo plug-in on your PC . After that you can select any widget, click on “Add to Desktop” to add it to your Windows Desktop . In the desktop, you can drag them around, change there colors, appearance and settings . It is very much similar to Yahoo Widgets or Google Desktop . One drawback is that the widgets take up a lot of memory and they may not perform well with Firefox or Opera .
