The directory that is currently included in the sandbox will not be the directory that Orkut uses for launch. The launch directory will only contain opensocial gadgets that have been whitelisted for inclusion, so if you are listed, you will have a much smaller pool of gadgets competing for users.
You can submit your gadgets for inclusion in the launch directory by filling out the following form: http://orkut-app-submission.googlemashups.com/ Sorry for any confusion, ~Arne On Feb 3, 9:59 pm, paps <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > Agree.. i got the shock of my life.. when i saw the application > directoey flooded with apps..
