The article doesn't say how to enable online desktop. I found that the easiest way is to execute
# yum install bigboard
as root (or with sudo) to install everything you need. Then log out, select the Gnome online desktop in the menu "Sessions" and log back in. Gnome will start with bigboard sitting on the left side of the screen. To use its features and other applets you need to register a account at http://online.gnome.org/account first.
Mind though that everything is still a bit unstable and that things tend crash a lot.
