WackWall content democracy: RSS and custom HTML widgets coming soon
July 5, 2008 – 11:51 pm, by Emil @ SkalfaWe are planning to add 2 kinds of widgets that will greatly help with creating content for your social network on WackWall.
1) RSS widget – allowing you to obtain content from an arbitrary RSS feed of any source, like blogs, YouTube, Flickr, and so on. Not that your site should be stuffed with RSS-taken 3rdparty content only but it will help your network take off with constant and fresh content on the topic. Is there anything users love more?
2) Custom HTML widget – a widget that just lets you put any HTML content within it. It can be used for additional wording, promo, non-standard types of content, and… advertisement. Note that we don’t prohibit putting your own ads on your network even if you don’t plan to purchase ControlPack to eliminate/replace WackWall ad banner – you can run your own unlimited ads as well.
If you think you know what we should be aware of when developing these features, or have an idea of other widgets that help you build content for your network, feel free to let us know! WackWall is a project that is destined to be in heavy development during the whole its lifetime and our goal is to make your social network a really cool place to commuincate.
