Do you have Google toolbar in your web browser?

Do you realize when you access to Muecs.com , the PageRank shows right now and not 0 anymore?

I'm Glad to see the biggest search engine recongized our website.  It will be improve our contents in search result.
Recently, I saw more people came from Google search, joined by their interested topics in Community.
That's a good sign, the SEO does worked.  Johny and I spended about 2 weeks in last month tried improve our website
contents ability to search by the popluar search engine in the market.
And for sure, Google is our site biggest source from search.

We tried search advertising approach before, but that was not working well as our expected result.
So for some of the new startups, I suggest you guys not using search advertising in the beginning.
Until you earn some revuene from your website, you may consider to do that to that.

As the report show of last month until July middle, other than people from US and Hong Kong, one of the growing were from German.

Since end of May, we announced to release public account register in beta stage, over 1000 people signed up from that date to June.
This is a good start for us, and some of the tech blogger reviewed Muecs.com.

Here is some of the blog post, by the way thanks you all of you who supportting and gave a great comments about us.

Other that widgets, we released the Bookmarketlet Tools in our tools series.

It's easy to install in your web browser for bookmarking in your Muecs Bookmarks App.

Last week, we were starting to build the API for Muecs.com.  The first thing we tired to do was making the widget and badge above the API.

It was kind of funny to make those widgets, because all of these stuffs are based on XML, Javascript and HTML.

So it's depends on the design, able the widgets have flexibility for everyone to embed it on their website or blog.

This week, we released the Profile Badge and Crews Widget that built on top of our API.

Profile Badge is basically a javascript code that display information about you, and the services you currently use in Muecs Contents Mashups.

Crews Widget is a gear to display the activities in your joint crews in Muecs Community.

You can give it a try to display your stuffs with customizable color in : http://www.muecs.com/tools/

This is a sample of Profile Badge from Muecs test account.


Both badge and widget are basically similar customize setting for it.

Which every editable color fields are allow to choose color from the color wheel beside it.

It's pretty simple to config and generate your own widgets for you.

Then you can copy and paste the embed code into your website or blog, and please make sure your web browser is  javascript enble.

Here is my crews widget demo.

So what's next?

We will build more difference types of widgets from Muecs API's data. 

The coming one we are considering of is the listed items in Marketplace of people.

We think this is useful for people who use want to sell their products, not just have impression of their products in our platform.

It also them to display their products in websites they can embed the wideget on.
