Welcome Mumby!
We have an addition to our Power Smart Pricing office. It’s Mumby the Chumby. As described by the makers, Chumby is a “compact consumer Internet device that enables people to receive a constant personalized broadcast of their favorite parts of the Web.” It has partnerships with CBS, MTV Networks, MySpace, The Weather Channel Interactive, AOL’s SHOUTCast, and Scripps Networks to provide a base set of widgets that can be displayed on its screen.
We are excited by the visit because each Chumby can be highly personalized to have the channels, or widgets, of your choice. This even includes ones that can be created by outside developers. Here at CNT Energy we are constantly looking for new and innovative ways to display hourly prices. A widget could be designed a lot like Jay Nick’s google gadget (as seen on the sidebar) that would show the current price and match it with an easily recognizable color scheme (green, yellow, or red).
If you currently own a Chumby, let us know what you think! Also if there are any developers out there who want to take a shot at programming a widget keep us informed with your progress!
