Pure Flash Widget for Plinkme?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

We’ve gotten some glowing feedback about Plinkme. And we’ve gotten some constructive criticism:

“When I first saw PlinkMe, I thought it might be the coolest idea ever. … PlinkMe would be the perfect product if it weren’t for one thing: they’ve used javascript for the widget codes, even though they display as Flash. This rules out usage on MySpace, hi5, Tagworld and many more social networks…” — Pete Cashmore

We took the critique onboard and actually developed a widget that will display plinkme.com photos on MySpace; see http://www.myspace.com/85209816

However, in their infinite wisdom, MySpace has now disabled links from within flash widget that appear on their site.

So the question: would you still like to see the continued development of a pure flash widget?

Note: I would not recommend using the test flash widget demoed above on MySpace as it is VERY alpha and subject to discontinued development/support.

What is Plinkme?

Plinkme is Free Exposure!

It may be a little odd that we’re answering the question: “What is Plinkme?” months after its beta release. But hey, we’re techies as well as the Plinkme developers (read: maybe we’re too close to the project). So perhaps we didn’t do the best job of comprehensively sharing Plinkme’s story.

Well, we’ve worked to fix this. You can now read all about Plinkme for Publishers and Plinkme for Photographers.
