Had the good fortune to have coffee last week with Shashi Bellamkonda from Network Solutions and Geoff Livingston of Livingston Communications when they were out here in the Bay Area. As part of the conversation, we came up with the idea of seeing if we could pull together a useful tool for customers who were trying to get their holiday deal planning together. After bouncing around a couple of ideas, we ended up putting together a plan to create an iPhone app and web widget using Cerado Ventana. Success! It shows both the deals, as well as the Twitter buzz about Black Friday (click on the "buzz" link to see it).
Dave Jeyes had some nice things to say about the iPhone version here. (And here’s a link to the iPhone version directly, at http://bffeed.com.)
Here’s the widget itself, if you want to use it online as well.
One thing that is super cool is that it’s only two clicks to add this to an iGoogle start page. Just click on the "Get Widget" link above, then click on the big "G" – super easy.
