This does of course only work if you are the actual owner of the app, some networks show how many users a app has in the gadget directory but that's often the only public info if you're not the app's author. > 2.

So as long as that fits with your envisioned app design, yes no problem :) -- Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenSocial Application Development" group.
