RFD Widgets

[Ryan]

Posted on the main page before, but for those who missed it:

A couple of RFD readers have created cool RFD widgets for the Yahoo! Widget Engine (http://widgets.yahoo.com/) (formerly Konfabulator). Widgets let you add cool mini-programs to your desktop, such as clocks, weather reports, news feeds and more.

Chris Chan created an RFD Widget that lets you monitor the deals posted on the RFD main page as well as in the forums. You can click here (http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=37423)for more information.

siriuskao from the forums has created a similar widget that lists the new deals posted on RFD. You can download the widget from his webpage here (http://www.kaosphere.com/wp/).

how do you use a widget?

[Derek]

To use the widget you need to download the Yahoo! Widget Engine:

I use the widgets on my Apple Powerbook, Very cool. :cool:

the direct link to the download (probably an older version) is not the same as the one in yahoo! widget gallery (the newer one, which allows you to look at different threads)

Hmm...a Google Widget would be great...I like the ability to collapse them.

If you're talking about the Google personalized homepage you can simply add our RSS feed and pick up the headlines:

Same applies for my.Yahoo! as well.
