It's like your own personal newspaper. You can view all of your information. You can only access information made available by the site's content partners. Users can set each snippet to update at a different frequency. For example, the weather can be updated once an hour, while the stock-quote snippet can notify you when a stock price changes by a certain amount.
Snippets work best with small bits of information that can be viewed within the tiny icons.
It's great to have access to temperatures and stock quotes. A service that keeps track of your user names and passwords, while collecting all of your account information onto one Web page. You can access the information from a Web-enabled telephone. Using the service is easier than tracking it down. To get it, you need to visit the Web site of a VerticalOne partner.
