Thanks for your comments. My presentation does an overall assessment of SocialSite code base as it exists in the svn. I did realise while analysing the code that client and server are disjointed in many places and social site talks about embedding social site widgets in any site.
Questions - 1. Are social site widgets opensocial gadgets + couple of additional features? 2. How are you guys making the widget itself portable ?
