Widgetbox v1.5 Released

Widgetbox released version 1.5 Friday night.

This release improves the ability of a widget to "go viral".  In particular:




  • Get It Now. When someone sees a widget out in the wild, like on a blog or MySpace, they can get it right there, without going back to Widgetbox. New and existing widgets get this automatically -- be they Flash or HTML/Ajax — and it works on every site, including MySpace.

  • New places to install widgets. Most notably, no-code installs to Google homepage, Netvibes, Pageflakes, and "email this widget to a friend".





Here's how Get It Now works. 




Click a widget's Get Widget button…



…to pop up a menu right there, over the blog page.

In addition, there are hundreds of small features, usability improvements and perhaps an easter egg or two.

Enjoy!
