So you want to build a mobile widget?
That’s what you can do right here. Besides mobile phones, other platforms are in the making.
So you want to build your own platform?
Glowe.org also encourages individuals and companies to make use of the GLOWE language in their own client environments . If you’re into set top boxes, mobile devices, Karamba or Dashboard widgets or anything else that can be considered a programmable platform, you should consider using GLOWE as the universal XML language for user generated content and applications.
Being lightweight and focused on non-developers, it allows anybody to add a nice and fun piece of functionality to your platform. Since the GLOWE language specification is released by City Live under the Creative Commons license, you’re free to use this result of 3 years of mobile widget experience in your own projects.
