SurveyGizmo iGoogle Gadget

We received our first notice of a 3rd party application created with our API. Anyone who uses iGoogle dashboards to organize their lives is going to love this.

Bryan Richards, Editorial Director of Linux Magazine, developed a Google gadget for SurveyGizmo! Just like our Apple Widget and WordPress Plug-in, the gadget displays your surveys and number of responses and allows you to access the advanced features for those surveys by clicking on the row. Excellent job, Bryan!

How to Setup and Use the Google Widget

From your iGoogle home page click on the “add stuff” link (usually at the upper right corner of the screen).

Then choose the “add from URL” option and type (or copy and paste) this URL into the box:

Now the SurveyGizmo widget will be added to your iGoogle Home page. You’ll have to enter your API key into the space provided, then you are ready to roll (get your API key from your Account Settings page).

We love to see our customers using our API for cool things. If you’ve created a project without API (or want to) let us know about it. We will rave about your nifty invention.

Thanks Bryan — and great work!!
