This is a fairly small update in terms of a feature set for Periscope Gadget, but it is an update nonetheless. I’ve added mini-messages to both the iGoogle and Gmail gadgets which now let me communciate with users directly within the gadget. It’s an unobtrusive little yellow bar at the top of the gadget with a link to more information for whatever is being communicated. And, ofcourse, there is a little red x that will let you close the message indicating that you no longer wish to see it. If there’s something new that pops up, it’ll come back with the new message. You’ll never see more than one message at a time at the top. You’ll start to see the messages just as soon as your local cached copy of the gadget gets replaced by the new updated version from the Periscope Gadget server…
I’ve also added some affiliate love for Basecamp, Highrise and Freshbooks in the side bar of the blog pages for those of you that may not be familiar. Click on the referrals and if you sign up as a result, it helps feed my kids. So, thanks!
And finally, happy holidays to everyone!
