Clearspring
When I started this project I settled on using Clearspring as my widget platform. It has a number of attractive features that influenced my decision.
- It offers turnkey syndication to many popular "start page" or personal page sites like iGoogle, Netvibes, Pageflakes, etc.
- It offers turnkey syndication to blogs and other services like Blogger, Digg, Stumble, etc.
- It was based on standard and well known technologies like Javascript and Flash.
- It has amazing analytics including:
- Number of widget views.
- Number of unique viewers.
- Domains that views are coming from.
- Viral hubs that are spreading the widget.
- Where people are viewing the widget from geographically.
- 3D graphs and charts with modifiable date ranges and data sets for custom reporting.
- The "get & share" button that makes it easy for viewers who like the widget to simply grab it, customize it's settings, and automatically add it to their favorite pages via their turnkey syndication or by embedding.
