Vista Gadget for Joost

Joost has just released the embed code for the Joost Flash player and I've been waiting for that so that I can show people the example Vista Gadget that I've been running for the past month.

Its a very simple Gadget if not entirely crude but it does demonstrate how to use the Joost API to get information about what people are playing and then play it using the embedded Joost player.

The current Gadget will pick up my (SimonL's) friend's playing of shows and display the most recent one, click the text and the player will fly out; click the (link) and it will open the Joost site at that show.

I'll post a Gadget later with a settings form so the list can be changed along with some commentary as to how to amend it.

Download Joost Gadget

If you have enabled the Sidebar then you should get an installation from just downloading the .gadget, which is just a zip file of the whole set of files.
