Widget Engine Widget for PCs for quite some time. We also have an API we're opening up so other people can take full advantage of all kinds of remote recording features, including showing all your friends what you're recording. More info on the widget here: http://www.icetv.com.au/widgetabout.shtml We're also doing other social networking things, like a Digg-style most popular list with comments: http://www.icetv.com.au/interactive/mostpopular We have loads more in the pipeline too.
