Feedjit Widgets

2007-10-23T20:17:00.000-07:00

Feedjit http://feedjit.com/ is offering a widget that provides information about who is visiting your blog or website. An entry is posted to the widget every time a person arrives at your website and again when the person leaves. Feedjit entries list both the webpage your visitors came from (the referring website) and where they live in the world. Feedjit also posts a little flag again to indicate what country each visitor is from. Neither the blog publisher nor visitors need to register for the service - the code just has to be on the site. I added the Feedjit traffic widget to this blog and it appears very informative and to load very quickly. Sometimes it difficult to figure out from where it get visitors information. On my work computer it shows that I am from Scranton, Pennsylvania and when I visited Feedjit site it seems shown me from Austin, Texas (which I believe was becouse of others visitors for this blog, see the image attached). Very useful are possibilities to exclude yourself from the list and to adjust sizes and colors of widgets.

Feedjit also offers a separate map widget that shows the locations of the last 100 visitors to your website, which also is included below.

Alpha - New Search Engine from Yahoo

2007-10-17T19:58:00.000-07:00

Beta version of new search engine Alpha ( http://au.alpha.yahoo.com/) features widgets (or “info sources”) like Yahoo web search, Flickr photos, Yahoo Answers, Yahoo News, YouTube, Wikipedia, and Sponsored Results. A “Customise this page” link on the results page allows users to determine which info sources are displayed along with results. You can remove them or drag-and-drop them to rearrange them on the page. You can also choose to make your layout of Alpha public or private. Here how it looks like. Cool!

It seems that Google also has set themselves up a sandbox at searchmash.com where they can test out new UI and search ideas.

Google Gadget Ads

2007-10-14T12:33:00.000-07:00

Google AdSense Blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/09/introducing-google-gadget-ads.html announced that Google launched Google Gadget Ads, customized "mini-sites" that run as ads on AdSense publisher websites. These ads are interactive, engaging, and will appeal to your users, simultaneously providing value to advertisers while getting visitors to stick around your site. Gadget ads enable advertisers and agencies to engage audiences on the Internet's largest ad network with a rich and interactive new ad format. Think of gadget ads as mini versions of your website in any AdSense ad size.
Google Gadget Ads are nearly identical to Google Gadgets, except that they run as rich media ads on the Google content network. By adding a small bit of code called a click URL to your Google Gadget, the gadget becomes a Google Gadget Ad, capable of running as an ad on thousands of content network sites. Otherwise, the two can be identical in their basic construction and content. See
http://www.google.com/adwords/gadgetads/gallery.html for examples.
