The new site offers developers links to information and tools for building gadgets and the opportunity to submit existing gadgets to share via the myAOL Gadget Gallery, which already includes many gadgets built by the myAOL team, widget factories, and third-party developers.
Working with developers from Google and other members of the OpenSocial community to adopt the gadget spec ensures that developers with existing gadgets are able to submit them to the myAOL Gallery, and makes it easy for widget factories to offer their developer communities a simple way to submit their work as well. For example, yourminis is now live with the ability to easily add any of their widgets to a myAOL page or submit them to the myAOL Gallery.
CONGRATULATIONS to the entire myAOL team – from Mountain View to Bangalore to Dulles!
THANK YOU to our colleagues at Google who have been so helpful throughout the process.
Our combined efforts have resulted in a variety of fun gadgets for the myAOL audience (with many more on the way!) and the creation of a site that will allow us to fill myAOL with more choices and more great content. Check out our post on the opensocial blog too!
