New Homepage launched

We’re inching ever closer to launching our new MySpace application (watch this space) and to celebrate we’ve redesigned our home page and added a ‘Most Viewed’ section – fans can click a tile to grab a most viewed gydget and add it to their MySpace, Facebook or other site.

The gallery will continue to show ‘Most Grabbed’, which gives smaller bands, teams and other organizations a chance to be grabbed by fans. Oh, and gallery search is coming real soon too!

Rest In Peace, old gydget home page. Rest In Peace.

“This thing is really neat-o, people”

Amanda, Ani DiFranco’s self-proclaimed “social networking maven”, has been generating some comment over on MySpace with her blog post “What the hell is a widget?” In part, she says:

Well, for our purposes (and the purposes of this blog), a widget is a little box that we’ve embedded into our profile that does lots of stuff. And this thing is really neat-o, people.
In one little box, you have Ani info at your fingertips, including tour dates, news updates, music, graphics, and even video…

Yup, that’s pretty much it. And our favourite response?

Clearly, a ‘widget’ is a thingumy, doohickey or whoosiewhatsit.
Whatever it is, it’s pretty cool … now I want one.
