create a widget server
Fri, 05/23/2008 - 11:33 — anandnitw
I have access to search engine API. I wish to create a server (like widgetbox.com) that will create widgets and will be published by my server.
how do i do it? which platform is best to use?the user should be able to download the widget and apply it to his web page. we will only be supplying a code snippet that he pastes on his web page source code. the widget should run from my own server.
I'm Alex Netkachov and I welcome you on my site, which is my technical playground and web log.

Hire a developer so he will do it for you.

I suspect that PHP is good enough.

It looks like you can install WordPress on your server, upload widgets to one folder and create one blog record for each widget.
