Netvibes announce the Universal Widget API
Hello! The long-awaited Netvibes Universal Widget API has been released today!
Since our announcement, you’ve been thousands to subscribe to our announcement list and we thank you!
We believe at Netvibes that UWA can really change the way we produce and develop widgets. We’ve been working hard to release it. As you know, the Universal Widget API will replace the Mini-Module API that was used on Netvibes.
The launch of the UWA effort starts with a new website, a great documentation and of course some cool examples. You will then be able to implement your widgets on Netvibes, and also to have them running on Google IG and Apple Dashboard. As promised, more platforms are currently in the process of being supported. The Opera and Vista support are just a few weeks away.
As you will experience, we have lead efforts to build a very simple API that let you leverage our Netvibes User Interface, and let you integrate HTML and Flash elements very easily.
The UWA relies on a soon-to-be-released open-source JavaScript runtime. Through JavaScript best practices, our components and templates, the UWA makes it easy to assemble a widget for any given web service. Since our primary announcement, some great platforms contacted us to collaborate on expanding the reach of UWA widgets.
Get started now! This is the place where you can find developer resources: UWA is now part of our new Developer Network website. http://dev.netvibes.com/
A forum is already there to follow-up on your questions and needs; a developer blog is coming soon and will showcase your best widgets along with tutorials and cool tips.
There is still much to do, and as usual we want to learn from you to improve and fit into your development needs.
If you are not a developer, and you still want to find out how you can leverage the power of UWA for your business needs, you can contact us at business [at] netvibes.com .
Thanks for your attention. We are looking forward to your feedback.
Join the widget revolution!
Also find this video on YouTube or MetaCafe.
All developers are encouraged to create and build widgets with UWA !
Have fun and enjoy

Just a sugesstion for localized versions:
I think it would be better if we would be able to see the localized version of other countries like France http://www.netvibes.com/?lang=fr... without having to login.
I live in North America and I want to be able to see the Franch version without having to login.
Thank You

Hi. If you want to delete this comment, do it, but read it first please. Its just an advice. I think Netvibes should have a tool to "jump" to the unreads items.
The example Im going to give you is a little stupid, but you will understand my idea: In the Age of Empires, if you press Control (Im not sure) you "jump" to the person who is not working.
I think this, a Google Calendar and a Google Notebook integration are the only things this service should have.
Bye.

Yup, I’ve seen those heat maps and they’re fun to look at. I’ve wondered how the data gets stored though; there’s a trade-off of granularity of the data vs. storage space..

Looks great! So when you talk about a "soon-to-be-released open-source JavaScript runtime", are you referring to the framework behind UWA?
Would that allow someone to use your framework to host UWA widgets on their own site?

I often wish to check something on another tab while I’m in the process of reading an article on the reader, and don’t, because I know I’ll have to find the right article again and scroll to resume reading…
