Wanna Be a Gap Model???
Wednesday, October 31, 2007 at 11:00AM You guys have to check this widget out - it is truly amazing.
We recently partnered up with Gap.com and one of our top developers, FancyGens, to create
a "The Gap ModelMaker." I think the widget below probably speaks for itself
(especially if you know Giles Goodwin, one of our co-founders, who I've dressed
up for Halloween here...), but you can upload any picture you want, choose the
Gap outfit, and then add some old-school Gap.com (from 10 years ago exactly -
this is their 10th anniversary of being online!!) bling.
We are super excited about this widget on a few fronts. First,
we love that Gap.com is embracing this new form of media, and they are throwing
themselves into user generated content with abandon. There are some amazingly
funny renditions of this widget - we just about fell on the floor the other day
laughing about the various folks we were turning into Gap models. Second, this
speaks to the power of our developer community. FancyGens has been an amazing
contributor to the Widgetbox experience, and we want to do anything we can to
help him succeed - connecting him to the good folks at Gap is one of the ways
we are doing that. Third, The Gap also got fired up about our App Accelerator,
and you can get this widget as an app on Facebook too! And last, this widget is
just cool. 'nuff said.
Happy 10th anniversary to The Gap, and happy new widgeting
to all of you!
