Introducing the IrishEnvy Forums Widget!

You know how we like to stay ahead of the technology curve here at IrishEnvy. That said, we're proud to introduce our IrishEnvy Forums Widget! Have you ever wanted to know what was going on without having to keep a browser window open? If so, our new IrishEnvy Forums widget was designed just for you!

Built on the Yahoo! Widget Engine infrastructure, the IrishEnvy Forums widget allows you to keep track of new forum discssions in your favorite IrishEnvy.com forums from your desktop! If you find something you find interesting, just click on the link and you'll be taken directly to the thread to throw in your two cents! It's that easy!

What Is the Yahoo! Widget Engine?

The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your WiFi signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.

Put simply, it's a cool little toy that allows you to have different programs running on your computer's desktop, from weather to streaming radio to the IrishEnvy Forums widget! It's easy to install, easy to use and a very powerful and slick toy. Oh, and it's FREE!

Sample Screenshot

Here is what the IrishEnvy Forums Widget looks like when in action. Here, the widget is running next to the Yahoo! Weather widget. You can also customize which forums you want the widget to display in the Preferences.

Just starting using the IE widget. I like it. As long as there are no compatibility issues (OS X/Safari user) I'll be using it all the time

The actual widget itself is developed in 100% pure XML.

That said, for the actual working of the widget, there should be no compatibility issues as it uses RSS to pull the feeds from the forums and then turns them into simple HTML hyperlinks. If there is a browswer it doesn't work on, I'd look for a new browser!

Glad you like it!
