New Feature: Embed Widget 2.0

When you save and organize content, it is a no-brainer that you’d like to distribute that content somewhere else as well. Whether its chatter from a conference hashtag, tweets from a breaking news event, or industry article links, that content is aimed at a certain audience. Sending them to a Keepstream collection page makes sense in some cases, but not all.

Embed OptionsWith our embed widget, rather than disrupt your audience’s workflow, you can deliver content directly to them by integrating a social widget into your blog or website.

We’re excited to announce we’ve just launched a big refresh of that embed. It’s easier to read, it’s prettier, and it’s less invasive. To embed, grab the code from the right sidebar of a collection page. Or hit the Embed button, next to the Share Collection button.

We aren’t stopping here though. We have a lot of other plans to enhance the widget, such as customization and the ability to share.

Please let us know what you think the top priorities are for improvement from here – by commenting below or by posting at Get Satisfaction. Seriously, we really need your thoughts – please comment!

Here’s an example of what the new embed looks like.

    Hi Tim,

    generally spoken, I like the new widget very much. Good looks, clear structure, no duplicate text from Twitpic any more. Great to see that you also resolved the CSS problem with white font on white background!

    Still there are a few questions left:

    – Will there be a function for auto adjusting the widget’s width? Or at least a possibility to define it manually?

    – The widget does not embed the AudioBoo player like it already did before. Should I load the tweet once again? Or is it up to you with a few twists?

    All in all – well done! Great service!

    Thanks so much!

    The width of the new embed has a smaller range than usual because after it gets a certain width, it starts looking funny / too spread out. It’s under review though so maybe we’ll allow people to manually set the width or we’ll make formatting updates.

    Audioboo doesn’t work at the moment because of some changes to the way we do the link unravelling. We now have to approve or deny which types of content to allow in order to preserve the highest quality display. We’ll be adding Audioboo and Cinch again very very soon.
