Clearspring Widget Examples
When adding sharing functionality to widgets there are usually 3 options: Clearspring, Gigya or custom. Assuming you don’t want to go the custom route, its either Clearspring or Gigya (the companies actually have an almost equal share of the marketing).
Gigya is unfortunately not as “cool” as Clearspring, its verdana 11 point type and pixelated buttons don’t have as much appeal to the Web 2.0 crowd. I often get asked by clients for some good examples of Clearspring widget but since they have only a limited number of widgets in they “featured” gallery (and since some widget, specially those for movies have a limited life span) it usually takes some time to find good examples.
