clearspring - the widget network.

When I’m out talking with developers, one request I get often is to have complete control of how they can customize their widget. Well, today it’s possible with Launchpad Advanced.

With Launchpad Advanced, your widget will be first to load and can programmatically invoke any or all of the widget services that we make available.

This includes things like:

• Viral sharing services that allow your widget to be moved around all the major social networks, blogs, start pages, bookmarking sites, and etc.,
• Complete customization of the share menu,
• And full reporting capability about where your widget has been placed and who your users are.

You truly have maximum flexibility over how to innovate using our services.

Launchpad Advanced is available in Action Script 3, Action Script 2, and JavaScript formats.

Oh… and as usual this service is free to all of our platform users. Yes, that means you. So really, what do you have to lose? Give it a whirl.

This is all part of our new Launchpad family of products, In Your Widget (Standard and Advanced) or On Your Page. For those of you that have been using the Launchpad Javascript API to share widgets from your page, note that we’re now calling this “Launchpad On Your Page”, but otherwise all the same functionality is still there.

As always, we value your feedback so send it over to justin@clearspring.com or drop a comment on this blog post. We’d love for you to join the conversation.
