Hey Lini,
As Bruno already pointed out, unfortunately at the moment getting some
gadgets working requires more work then just adding the url.
First of all the gadget provider needs to add your container name
('default' by default) to it's database structures where it stores
thing for that 'social network site' (user 1 on hi5 is a different
user then user 1 on orkut for instance; So they need a db per
container).
Then if they use signed requests, they also need to have your public
certificate, so they can validate the signed requests using that key..
And as the last bit, many gadget writers (like iLike and rockyou but
almost all other big ones too) currently do some customization of
their gadgets per network .. some have home views, others dont. Some
use different colors or dimensions, and often the gadgets will be
'tweaked' for each container.
There are workings going on to try to make a more generic structure
for this.. things like a global gadget registry where containers can
connect too and get 'generic' gadgets etc, but this is still in
progress and won't be done for a bit yet since it requires some
coordination between all the players in the market. It's something i'm
trying to contribute too since many mid to small sized containers will
run into this problem.
So for now the only option to have those gadgets that require all the
things mentioned above, is to write the gadget developers and ask them
to add your container and public certificate to their system.

Hi Chris,
I have added the Emote Application found on orkut on the latest
shindig implementation, but it is giving some javascript error for
empty JSON. I also tested this on pertuza. The url on pertuza is http://partuza.us.chabotc.com/profile/application/81/47/353
It is giving the same error. The url for the xml file is
http://www.rockyou.com/google_apps/emote_example/view/Emote_XML.php
Can you please let me know whats the problem with this application.
It is working fine on orkut as well as hi5.
