Forwarding wids in WidSets

Anina, who knows more about how to hack mobiles than I ever will, was surprised when I told her she could easily forward a wid from WidSets. Of course, she malevolently cackled about sending her 360 Fashion wid to all her friends.

Basically, you select a wid, go to the options->widget->send, enter the phone number or select from your address book, and off it goes.

If the person already has a WidSets account, it will show up in their main WidSets wid (that is, if they have it on their phone still), from which they can then add it to their collection.

But, here is another place where WidSets kicks butt - if the person doesn't have an account, WidSets sends them an SMS to download the app with the wid already in it. AND WidSets also sends them a temporary username and password, making it really easy for them to start using WidSets.

That's clever.

Indeed, if you haven't used it in a while, go check it out again. There is now more interactivity, such as entering tagnames or search terms, finding new wids from the phone and loading them, and so on. Heck, you really don't need to go to the desktop version much.

And BTW, this is Anina's wid that she made for her 360 Fashion. I think she hacked WidSets to get it to do what she wanted it to do or look like.

Click the button if you want to get it on your phone. Add to my Widsets

I just realized that the subjects I've come up with here are extremely boring, but I guess that just reflects my personality, so no worries. Anyway, this one is a little different, because so many people have written about WidSets [Read More]
