urSpin Announces an Open Call for Developers and Users to Participate in the Development of Next Generation Spinlets

EL SEGUNDO, CA AND SHENZHEN, PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA - - June 20, 2007- - urSpin (www.urspin.com), a new entrant to the U.S. and China community-driven personal startpage market, today announced an open call for developers and users to participate in the development of next generation Spinlets. The open call comes just twenty four hours after the public beta release of its Spinlets Gallery.

urSpin is inviting both developers and users to put Spinlets to the ultimate test. From customization features to ease of use to look-and-feel, developers and users are invited to contribute their feedback in the Spinlets Soapbox Forum at forums.Spinlets.com. Based on the feedback, urSpin plans to develop its next generation of Spinlets to cater to both developers and users alike.

Spinlets allow you to take any Web content to your personal webpage, blog or social networking profile by simply cutting and pasting small chunks of code. Spinlets work with TypePad, WordPress and Blogger, as well as most other blogs, sidebars and websites. 

“Direct user input has always been a core component of the Spinlets product development”, said Kevin Cuxil, President of urSpin. “Our goal with the public beta is to invite widget developers and users to not only provide their Spinlet preferences and frustrations, but also to take the lead in determining major enhancements of our next generation Spinlets.”
