I need something cleared up, if you're so kind. I have a nember of gadgets that just invoke the opensocial feature (they just have the line "<Require feature="opensocial-0.x" />", but make no further use of the social feature).
My question is, do I have to modify these gadgets as they will be automatically removed from the iGoogle directory, or will they stop working, or none of these will happen as they have no real social function? Thank you in advance for your answer, Daniel On Oct 17, 8:31 pm, Takashi Matsuo ♟ <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi iGoogle developers, > > Thank you for your contributions to the iGoogle platform. > > We wanted to let you know that we will be removing support for the > social features in iGoogle gadgets on January 15, 2012.
