clearspring - the widget network.

Do you have a cool widget, or a cool widget idea? Do you want to make a whole business out of it, but don't want to build all the stuff you need to really make your widget work across the web? All you need to worry about is the core concept of the widget itself, and your own website, and we'll handle the rest.

1. Register your widget with Clearspring to make it run everywhere

The first thing you need to do is Register your widget with Clearspring. Tell us about it, so we can help you. Check out the Quick Start guide to get going with it. A widget registered with Clearspring will automaticaly work on all the top widget destinations on the web, with no extra coding from you. What's more, your widget will automatically get a built in sharing menu, which lets users grab it for themselves from wherever they run across it out on the web, not just from your own site.

2. Manage your configuration dynamically

When you've got a whole business based on a widget, being able to manage the widget's configuration out in the world is absolutely critical. how are you going to deal with different configurations for all of your different users? Are you going to be able to change configuration parameters as you upgrade your widget? What if you want to change configuration dynamically?

Building an infrastructure to handle all of this no small task, and not something you need to spend time doing when you should be working on your core widget and on your promotional website. You can let Clearspring manage all of this for you, take a look at the documentation to learn all about it.

3. Use Launchpad so people can grab your widget from your site

Once you've got your widget set up in our system, you can embed the Launchpad menu right in your site so that your visitors can easily grab it for themselves. Read all about it in the docs. What's more, you can use Launchpad for sharing content without even registering your widget, if you really want to (try it).

4. Track it all

Once your widget is in the Clearspring platform, and you're using our tools to spread it virally across the web, you can monitor its progress in real-time with our advanced reportng interfaces.
