    Widgets on your profile!

    Flixster now supports a limited set of "widgets" you can add to the about me section of your profile. Right now, we support only RockYou and SnapVine widgets but we'll add more partners as you guys ask for them so tell us what other widgets you'd like to see.

    Widgets also work on talk messages and i think in conversations.

    To create a widget - click "add widget" on your profile or the homepage.

    Hopefully this will let people have a lot more flexibility to express themselves ont heir profile however they want. Lets us know what you think!

    Joe, buddy, these are hot! I was hoping the voice widget could be done with a mic. The forums have multiple complaints about validating phones, but it's still a great idea.

    Nice one, I've added one already. It didn't recognise my profile when I left a message on yours though.

    *comes to complain*

    Okay. The whole Widgets thing is....well...you know...it's not bad. But, why have a feature to send invites to look at the Widget? It seems a bit daft to me.

    If I sign in to snapvine before leaving a message, surely my message shouldn't be from a "new user" but from me with my profile attached.
    Till now I've only left messages with Keaven and with Joe but both are anonymous - why?

    To me, this seems utterly pointless, but I guess for some reason, people like it, so I won't complain.

    Just a question: could you make it so that the ever so annoying I've got a widget on my profile message may be turned off? It's not as if I'm going to view them.

    I personally think being able to add sound files to a profile is a better idea than widgets. I don't want random people having access to my voice, but music could express my personality in the same way, so why not enable that as well as this widget... stuff?

    Thanks... I think I've brought it up on this forum a fair few times... and nothing.... The excuse has been that "this is a movie site".

    I kinda think that went out the window with the skins, the quizzes, the Quiz, the multiple forums not made about movies etc.

    Widgets must be more important than music though. I can't see how, but that's just me.

    There is a widget that allows you to use sound on your profile.

    Hi Joe
    I went to my own profile just now to find I had 3 different pieces of music all playing at the same time..... and I don't have a music widget on my profile. I then discovered that people had sent me talk messages telling me to check out their music widget and had sent the widget with the message so all their music was playing..... brrrrrrrrr
    It actually took some time to delete those messages - I think my computer was on overload.
    Should that happen?

    widget are cool, but one that would be great to have is time and dates you can display on your profile, so you could keep up with all friends time zone differances

    an easy one would be from http://www.timeanddate.com/clocks/free.html

    Speaking of widgets, I added a Movie Wall as a second widget to my profile, but it never opens up. It constantly stays in a loading phase. What might be a problem?

    I would like to See the Movie Widget on my Profile. Instead for myspace and Xanga why not on flixster? I mean those which you add your Movies List and stuff.

    The music widget thingy, is a bit annoying.

    The song that the user has put on their profile plays twice.

    Couldn't you make it like a Myspace one? So it doesn't play up.
