Widgets and Feeds

Widgets have long been used as an easy way to personalize and customize applications and deliver desired information or simple application behavior. Feeds (RSS, Atom) make content from blogs and websites easily accessible and reusable. MindTouch Deki allows users to embed widgets and feeds to provide additional context and real-time information. Moreover, MindTouch Deki allows these widgets and feeds to be mashed up with user information or other data.

No need to write code; MindTouch Deki includes out-of-the-box, widgets from more than 13 distinct providers representing tens of thousands of widgets from WidgetBox, Flicker, Google, Yahoo!, Digg and Windows Live to name a few. A site administrator can grant access to selected or all providers enabling users to quickly embed widgets in seconds.  Sharing rich media from videos, slideshows, images to charts and graphs is now as easy as point-and-click and can be done safely and securing without allowing potentially unsafe HTML or scripts.  Also, MindTouch Deki widgets are "pull" widgets, you don't have to open firewall ports to make these widgets work.
