Today we will be loading the following new features into production. The most exciting addition is HowStuffWorks. If you use this search option in your widget, our framework will analyze the page the widget is residing on and return content from HowStuffWorks.com. This feature can be enabled for your widget account by contacting sales@newsgator.com.
The load will take place some time this afternoon, so all of these will be available later today!
