A Drag & Drop Web Browser OS

Insight in to possible UI's for a browser-based OS ...

"Recent speculation about Web-based operating systems and the release of Flock (currently touted as the first Web 2.0 browser) got me thinking about what a Web browser-based operating system might look like. How could companies like Yahoo! and Google integrate their diverse product suites, which include Maps, Local Directories, Instant Messaging, Email, Calendars, Blogs, News, and more?

What stuck out for me was the ability to easily move content between services. For example, selecting and dragging text or images from a Web page directly into a blog post, an instant message conversation, or an email or perhaps dragging a point on a map to a calendar or directly into an email for easily accessible directions. This type of simplified sharing between Web services is illustrated in the following screen shots. I used LukeW Web OS to remain neutral but one could easily imagine Google OS, Yahoo! OS, or Mozilla OS."   continued ...   (Via Functioning Form)
