Newstin Weblog

They are finally here! Anyone interested in using our open platform news widgets can find them here.  We recently partnered with Netvibes to deliver to our users 11 different widgets, that will work across 7 different platforms (for easy, one click implementation).  This is merely a start to our widget push which we will be expanding in the near future.  For all you news lovers there will no longer be a need to directly access the Newstin site as you can now install our widgets to your favorite applications.  Currently the widgets (created by Netvibes) serve across iGoogle, Apple dashboard, iphone, Opera, Windows Live, Windows Vista and on the Netvibes platform (coming soon Yahoo).  If you are running any of these platforms give our widgets a try.

We have developed a widget for each of our language editions so that no one is left out.  Below are the links to the Newstin widgets. Soon you will also be able to access these widgets from the Newstin site.

Also, do not forget about the Newstin created webmaster widgets as well for personal webpages. You can locate these widgets at the bottom of each category page on our site, or you can simply go to tools and search for your preferred widget category. (ex: http://www.newstin.com/webmasters.a?edition=us&category_id=top_stories)

Refer back to our blog in the future for updates on further reach of the current widget set and also for information on new widgets being built now.  Anyone interested in a desktop widget that will not only give you access to the news categories but also to corresponding discussions around them, as well as interaction capabilities…??? Look out for it!
