In our first week of soft launch, we have received some very useful feedback from you, and I wanted to acknowledge and thank you for that, as well as let you know, that based on the feedback, we have already made and pushed out some changes. Some of them are :
1. We have auto-expanded out the detailed customization control, on the designer page, thus making it readily discoverable.
2. We have made some performance tweaks, so the widgets css and js loads up faster.
3. Improved upon our caching mechanism inside the widget, so the transition from one image to the next is smoother.
There's a few other changes that we will get to in the coming days. Please keep the candid feedback coming.
Thx.

Wowzio - Widgets Platform for Blogs
Wowzio, a widgets platform, targeted at blogs and blog readers, is being launched this week.
Wowzio provides bloggers with customizable widgets that help blog readers easily navigate blogs. These widgets bubble up rich media content, that over time tends to get buried deep in blogs, thus aiding blog readers in their discovery process.
Now, a little bit into how we got here. We launched blogsJam, a simple and fast web based RSS reader at the beginning of 2008. It received very encouraging feedback. Around the same time, we also launched a simple content widget. Since then, we have rolled out a couple more widgets, i.e. a slideshow widget, and a tagcloud widget. Bloggers really liked these widgets, and a good number of bloggers installed these widgets on their blogs.
This was very thrilling for us, as it meant that these widgets were indeed useful, and led to us spending a lot of time working on building a widgets platform, which we are now launching as Wowzio.
Wowzio widgets are based on open standards ( javascript & css ), and supports all blogging platforms that allow javascript to be embedded. The architecture is designed for high performance and scale, from the ground up.
We invite you to come and check out Wowzio, our new widgets platform, and give us your feedback.
