Today is an exciting day for us, we have rolled out 'Pulse' widgets. These can be found on our 'Pulse' pages in the right-hand column, some examples are :

Last month we rolled out a feature that would make 'Pulse' real-time. What's special about these 'Pulse' widgets is that they hook directly into the real-time 'Pulse' feed for the corr. topic. Hence these widgets update in real-time, and do not depend on any other intermediary sub-systems.
As an example, if you have a blog about mobile operating systems, you could place 'Pulse' widgets found on the above mentioned 'Pulse' pages on your blog and it will provide readers of your blog with contextual, fresh and relevant content aroung 'iPhone OS', 'Android' & 'Blackberry OS'. You can also use the corr. RSS feed for a 'Pulse' topic, and syndicate it on your blog in a different fashion.
For a blogger who has just blogged about a late-breaking event ( eg. terrorist attack in mumbai ), and tagged your post appropriately,
Wowzio will via 'Pulse', syndicate and distribute that post over the web in a contextual & relevant fashion, in real-time.
In fact, the 'Mumbai terrorist attack' was one of the triggering events, that got us thinking of combining the real-time feature of twitter, with the rich publishing medium of blogs. One way to think of this feature, is that it is helping twitter'ize your blog posts in a contextual & relevant fashion, automatically.
If you are a blogger and you would like to participate in pulse, please refer to how to participate in pulse. As always, we would love to hear from you, best way to share your thoughts with us is via our feedback form.
Thx,
Wowzio Team
