50 films to see before you die

Do you remember I was going to develop my iGoogle gadget? Yeah, I did it! :)

The idea of a gadget was taken from the famous “50 films to see before you die” list by Film4. This is a list of the 50 best movies which Film4 recommend everybody to see. My gadget shows the information about each film from this list like film’s title, year, plot, thumbnail, links to the film’s trailer, IMDB page and Amazon page and has handy navigation bar which allows to move from one film from the list to another, mark the film as seen, move through unseen movies.

Here is the preview:

To add this gadget to your iGoogle page just click on this button: Add to Google

P.S.: BTW, I’ve already seen 12 films and keep seeing the others. The list is really great!

iGoogle gadgets - new way to drive traffic?

Some days ago I decided to develop the gadget for iGoogle and check how I can use it. If you don’t know what is iGoogle I will explain you. iGoogle is an alternative to traditional Google home page. It can contain different gadgets Gmail inbox, Google Reader, to-do list, weather, bookmarks, etc. You can setup it depending on your needs.

I’ve already started to develop my own gadget for iGoogle. I’s quite simple but takes me a lot of time. There are too much different things that slow down the development process. I will write more details about the gadget in the next posts. But if you want to develop the iGoogle gadget, here are some useful links:

Has anybody iGoogle gadget publishing experience?
