myAOL & More Facebook Enhancements

In our latest update to the yourminis widget platform, we've added support for the myAOL startpage in two ways.  First, all widgets now have the "Copy to myAOL" icon available on the syndication panel.  Clicking this will allow a user to add the widget to their myAOL page.  Second, we've added myAOL as an available gallery option, allowing you the administrative ability to submit your widget to the myAOL gallery for additional distribution opportunity.

In addition, we've continued to enhance our Facebook support. You'll notice that the "add application" to Facebook workflow has been revamped, making it significantly easier to convert your widgets into Facebook Applications.  From the frontend perspective, we now display images in the profile view and direct users to the canvas page to interact with the widget, ultimately resulting in a better user experience for most of our existing widgets.  The new Facebook interface introduced a maximum size restriction of 180x250 for the display of a widget within the left rail of a user's profile page.  Most widgets are built to a standard size of 300x250 and thus will not work well within the new limited space. You can customize the image to be displayed within this space via the Settings>Manage Thumbnails section of your dashboard.Finally, we've implemented the Facebook template bundles and associated publishUserAction() API call.  This allows you to register a feed template bundle and then leverage it within the API to message actions within the widget to the user's activity feed.
