Get A Twitter Button

July 3rd, 2009

tmpE2

Nothing better than having a self explanatory Blog Post Title that also happens to be the Service Name and Website Domain. Since there is never too many Twitter Button generators. Here is another one.

Get A Twitter Button will present you with a simple one click form and will offer you 34 Twitter Button choices (at the moment of this writing) with embed codes that get updated with more of them every now and then. so if you need a Twitter Button for your blog and you haven’t found one you like. maybe this generator will be the one to have it.

Here is a live preview for the Widgets Lab Twitter account if you want to kill two birds with one stone ;) :

This one is a must if you have a Personal Blog or Business Website and if you use any of the following things: Windows Live Hotmail, Windows Live Mail or Outlook.

It is a very simple and clean Windows Live Gadget that synchronizes with your Windows Live Calendar. the very same one you access from Hotmail, Windows Live Mail or that you can sync with Outlook if you want.

It shows a Calendar with the closest marked events for the week or month and a link in case the visitor wants to see it in a full form.

The Windows Live Mail blog got a very well written Tutorial for you to follow if you want to have this Widget Badge in your Blog:

Post your calendar from Windows Live to a blog or website

And they got a second tutorial in order to guide you in customizing it:

Vizio To Release Connected HDTV With Yahoo TV Widgets And On Demand Services

July 3rd, 2009

 tmpDA

No doubt about it. Yahoo TV Widgets will be THE novelty in this fall HDTV offerings. The latest to join the party is Vizio that will offer a step up over the other HDTV’s with Yahoo TV Widgets as it will also offer On Demand Services like Pandora, Raphsody, Vudu, Netflix and Blockbuster OnDemand.

Yahoo TV Widgets being based off The Yahoo Widget Engine means you being able to get  Flickr, Twitter, Pandora, Last.FM, Facebook, MySpace, etc. All in Widget form.

The Other interesting bit is that it comes with a Remote Control/ Slide QWERTY Keyboard as the input/pointing device to enjoy the Vizio HDTV.

tmpDB

Quite a incredible offering  since it is like it having a service like Microsoft Mediaroom built into the TV by default without the need of a Top Box or it being a Media Center Extender. the only question now is if it will truly deliver. My concern is that it needs to be thoroughly tested in order for it to deliver a smooth and quick experience. The last thing you want is having a HDTV with slow loading Widgets ruining the experience.
