Widget fail
I tried posting a new Loudcrowd widget to my Facebook profile. The widget is set up via Gigya, which clamis to be “the leader in widget … distribution.” They took me to a Facebook app, that adds the widget to my inventory, and then gives me the option to add their profile box to my profile. When the preview came up, it looked wrong. I added it to my “boxes” tab, and sure enough, the widget showed up but it didn’t work. I think it has something to do with the widget being loaded through an iframe.
Look, let’s put it simply: if you are going to rely on a distribution network, you should actually make sure it works. Otherwise you might be wondering why your results are dismal. Listen up, Loudcrowd… if you would like to put your product, or even just your widgets, on Facebook, drop me a line: contact[at]mappdev.com. I can make it happen for cheap.
