By syndication i meant both ways, that is to retrieve a list of opensocial compliant gadget xmls created by external developers and to provide a list of gadget xmls hosted by my SNS. I am looking for a webservice/webservices which provides the list of various opensocial gadget available across a variety of opensocial sites(google, orkut, hi5...) To provide a list of gadgets hosted by my SNS, i assume i should create a webservice for others to read all the gadget definitions?(AFAIK shindig doesn't have a mechanism for that) > You should be able to call RpcServlet using XHR to do this, alternatively > you can do this server side either by calling RpcServlet or by running your > own internal equivalent embedded in Shindig.

Apart from roundtrip communication time, i was wondering about the security issues associated with sending user preferences with JSONP.
