Customers of Telstra's ISP, BigPond can now personalise their homepage to display their favourite RSS news feeds, applications, widgets, to-do-lists, photos, local weather etc in what BigPond says its latest Web 2.0 initiative. Featured Whitepaper 5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support According to BigPond group managing director, Justin Milne, all the information displayed on an I-Pond home page is dynamically linked to the wider web for real-time updates, and is accessible from any internet-linked computer. “I-Pond isn’t limited to text either – video, audio, podcasts, sticky notes, games and even animations can be added to the page. And it looks how you want it to, as you choose the content of the page and its layout. I-Pond is powered by Ajax. According to Telstra, "[Ajax] is multimedia capable and can be used for audio and video podcasts. It’s also a publishing tool, enabling users to upload and share information, for example sharing photos with friends with password protection." There are no sign-up fees for registered BigPond internet access customers, and most I-Pond access is unmetered for most BigPond broadband members.
