Introducing MajikWidget 2.0!
We are pleased to welcome everyone to our newly renovated MajikWidget website and control panel. I think you will all agree that it was worth the wait. This new user experience has been a priority to us not just for aesthetics but for back end operations as well.
It is paramount to us that the customer experience be exceptional as we continue our exciting growth. This new renovation will allow us to streamline widget development and start working toward our goal of releasing a new useful widget every week.
There are still a few things to fine tune but for the most part we are in a great position. MajikWidget is pulling down about 20Gb worth of bandwidth a month right now and we are doubling our registration numbers every two weeks.
The new user control panel now includes the ability to edit previously created widgets. This is a huge step forward since many of you have voiced the need to correct typos in your poll widgets. This feature not only allows for these corrections quickly but enables you to get the most value out of all individual widgets.
The new widget browser is a central part of the control panel. With it you can quickly locate new widgets from our library. As we grow there are plans to integrate an alphabetical "quick jump" for easily locating your favorite widgets (thanks John, we hear ya!).
We've also added three new widgets. By popular demand you can now dynamically list your upcoming Skypecasts within your website or blog using our new Skypecast widget. In addition you can list your bookmarked websites from Del.icio.us or your "dugg" stories from Digg.com. We think you will like the new additions.
As you may have also noticed we are still labeled as Beta. MajikWidget will officially leave Beta when we reach our goal of producing at least one useful widget every week. This is not just a goal but a major milestone for our company and we look forward to reaching it before the year is out. With your help and on going linkware suggestions we will rise to this challenge.
Keep looking for incremental improvements as we continue to grow. We will attempt to reinstate our "Monday Update" blog post as well. It has been difficult to keep up the information flow while we have worked on the new site launch (as we refaced the blog as well). Everything should be a little more fluid now.
As usual thank you to everyone who has been a part of our growth and we appreciate you allowing us to earn your business. We added some MajikWidget swag in our new cafepress online store as well- go check it out.
