We met today, and came up with a few Wadget uses:

Company and product information - people can show up-to-date
information about a company (or products) from Hooze on their own
e-commerce site or other web pages. So if you have a shopping site
your users can find out a company's ecological impact, how it treats
it workers, etc.

Sharing movement information - Many people are supporting schools to
engage in greener practices. Our own Green School Toolbox project has
started a Wagn to gather and share information about these efforts.
Others can use Wadget to include information from
greenschooltoolbox.com on their own site.

Event promotion - Other sites can easily list up-to-date schedule and
notable participant information without having to edit anything. They
just include a Wadget pointing to your schedule and notable
participant cards, and when people look at their site they'll always
see the latest information. Last minute changes become widely known as
quickly as possible.

Update changing information in a single place - It's easy to keep
information on a single Wagn card current. Imagine maintaining a quote
of the day card, or a restaurant listing their special of the week.
Any number of other sites could add the Wadget code once and display
these regularly-changing cards.

If you have any others, please share!

Life,
John
