As we continue to bring on large media companies as partners, we've noticed that there's a tendency for more than one department within the organization to build widgets on our platform.  Generally, someone is authorized to view all of the data for all of the widgets that the company builds, but there are others that should only have access to their specific widgets.  For this reason, we've added the notion of sub administrators to our dashboard.  The main administrator can now assign very granular permissions, either on an individual or group basis.  We think this will be a very useful feature of the platform going forward.

Also, as an added bonus, we've enabled support for our widgets within the Opera browser.  If you browse our gallery while using Opera, you'll see the toolbar change to a "widget" icon:

If you click on that blue widget icon, you'll be able to download that widget and have it live within Opera, even when your on sites other than yourminis.com.  Pretty cool stuff.

As always, please let us know your thoughts and comments in our forums.  More good stuff is on the way...

On October 1st, Adobe released Beta 2 of their AIR product.  Just last night, we performed an update which allows any of our AS3 widgets to be run on the desktop via Adobe AIR. 

We've made it super simple to get the AIR product.  Just click on the "copy me" on any of our AS3 widgets, and then choose the "AIR" option.  If AIR isn't running on your machine, we'll prompt you to either start it or to install the product.  Once you've installed AIR, you should be able to download any of our AS3 widgets, essentially with one click.

We've embedded one of our AS3 widgets below for those of you that want to try running them on your desktop:

Also, for those of you that just want to install AIR and our widget manager without downloading a particular widget, just click the "Install Now" link below:

Give it a shot and as always, let us know your thoughts...
