The first of ten posts about what you can do with Jiglu Tags, starting with an introduction into how it all works.

Jiglu's parent company, Kinomi Ltd, is currently looking for a new person to join our development team based in London's Camden Town.

At 10am GMT (that's 11am in the UK, 12pm in Central Europe, 6am US Eastern, 3am US Pacific) on Thursday 3 April we'll be upgrading to the latest Jiglu release.

You told us that you'd prefer to run your own adverts in your Jiglu widget or your Jigluhood space, so that's what we'll soon be letting you do instead. Until we're ready to do that, we've taken off all the advertising.

At 12pm GMT (that's 7am US Eastern, 4am US Pacific) on Wednesday 30 January we'll be upgrading to the latest Jiglu release. This should take no more than 90 minutes, but just in case you should allow three hours for us to be down. (Note that this has been postponed a day due to a last-minute issue.)

Jiglu's office will be closed from this evening, 21 December, until 2 January. We'll do our best to still answer your support queries during this time and of course we'll still make sure the service is running fine. However, there may be a few things we can't do until we're back in January.

This is how Steve described trying to create widgets that work anywhere. Some platforms are very widget friendly (pat on the back to Typepad and Bloggers), and some are immensely hostile (big boo to My Space and Word press.

Ask a dozen people how to market a service like ours, and everyone will give you a different answer. They'll tell you to use Adwords, or not. Perhaps contact all of the major bloggers and beg them to use it. Or there are are those who will say that's the quickest way to ensure no-one will ever speak to you again.
