New Widgets for the New Year

To celebrate the new year, we're happy to announce that a new batch of Widgets have been recently added to the TypePad Widget Gallery. 

WengoVisio
WengoVisio is a live audio & video widget from Wengo.com.  It allows your readers to connect with you through one-click audio and video calling, without requiring a download or subscription fees for the caller.

Snap Preview Anywhere
If you haven't seen this on a blog near you yet, I'm sure you will soon.  The Snap Preview Anywhere widget will install a bit of JavaScript on your blog that enables anyone visiting your blog to get a glimpse of what sites you're linking to.  As soon as they hover their mouse over a link, the reader gets a visual preview of the site in a hovering window.  It's simple, slick and adds a bit of flair to your blog.

Yedda Widgets
Yedda is a new site where you can connect and learn from a community of people who know the answers to your questions.  Yedda has created a suite of Widgets for TypePad:  the Ask Me widget, the FAQ widget and a user profile Widget.

ChipIn
Raising money for a good cause, your small business...or for a weekend getaway?  ChipIn is a new service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people.  The ChipIn Widget is a simple, great-looking Flash application that lets you keep people up-to-date on your fundraising efforts.

NewsCloud Headlines
NewsCloud is an open community website for sharing, rating and commenting on the news.   The NewsCloud Headlines widget lets you share popular feeds and top headlines from NewsCloud on your blog.

If you haven't browsed the gallery lately, you should take a look.  We're closing in on 100 Widgets that have been built especially for TypePad bloggers; they're an easy way to add content and functionality to your blog and enhance the experience for your readers.  And if you're interested in developing Widgets, we'd love to have you.  The API is easy, open and publicly available.  Learn more at our Widget Developer Center.
