Web 2.0 and Widgetbox Hack Day

Last week Widgetbox participated in two great events.  For those of you who made it to the Web 2.0 Expo at the Moscone Center, you may have noticed a very crowded booth in a corner of the Expo floor.  That booth was Zude, and they did a truly amazing thing and asked Widgebox and Myxer to join them in their booth to demonstrate our respective partnerships.  It was great, and we had such a fun time getting to know the Rockstar Zude team!!

We are working with Zude on a remote gallery so that they can provide all our 55,000 widgets (we has widgets!) to Zude users.  Got a network you want a remote gallery for?  Let us know - Shawn can set you up with one - they're hoTTT. 

Matt Wulkan, Zuder Extraordinaire, took some awesome pictures at the show.  Zude had a green screen set up so they could demonstrate how easy it is to import all kinds of content into your Zude pages - below are some of those shots as well as some general pics of the expo.

And speaking of pictures, the other super fun thing we did at Widgetbox last week was our monthly Hack Day. Will Price, our new CEO, made this killer Flickr widget for his Hack Day project. It's pretty sweet - you can put in any Flickr ID, and you have an awesome slide show to take with you on the web!

I used Will's widget for the two slideshows in this post. The one below has some shots of Hack Day, as well as our Friday night excursion to Pier 23. I have no idea why we are all wearing hats - they just appeared on our table, so what else were we supposed to do?

Enjoy!
