Add cool new features, without any additional programming, by using our dynamic configuration engine. Like to experiment? Change services deployed on thousands of widgets in seconds.  We're all about putting the logistics of your widget distribution into the back-end, so all you have to do is focus on the unique functionality of your widget.

Give Your Widgets Wings

Publish to popular widget galleries and websites with the click of a button. Take advantage of our APIs to seed the widget on sites that do not support open publishing. Want to transform every web page your widget is on into a point of distribution? Point your friends to your widget homepage, automatically created when you register a widget. Activate our viral sharing services to make it easy for people to move widgets to a growing list of destinations such as MySpace , iGoogle, and Microsoft Live once it is out in the wild.  Clearspring is all about letting your widget distribute itself across the web, and allowing you to sit back and watch.
