Top Gadget Developer #53

Hey - I'm on the top Google Gadget Developer list at number 53... By the time you look - http://www.google.com/ig/authors?hl=en&gl=us&rl=en_us&start=52&sa=N, it is possible that my rank has changed or I'm not on the list at all! The ranking is very dynamic and is dependant on the number of active users of a developer's gadgets when the ranking is done. Anyway, I'm happy to be on it even for a short time! :-)

News in Gujarati and Punjabi

I've added two more languages to the Indian Language News portal - Punjabi and Gujarati. Check them out:

Indian Language News Gadgets for Google

I know its been a long time since my last post. I've been busy with stuff other than writeKA. This weekend, however, I just sat and did some changes to writeKA's Indian Language News portal and also made some new Google Gadgets that display news in English, Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. Google Gadgets can be added to your iGoogle page or your website.

Add English News to iGoogle
Add Hindi News to iGoogle
Add Malayalam News to iGoogle
Add Tamil News to iGoogle
Add Telugu News to iGoogle
Add Kannada News to iGoogle

This is how it looked when I was testing the widgets today:

The widgets allow you to change the number of news items you want to see and also the font size. You can change these parameters in the Widget Settings as shown in the image below.

Each news item can be expanded to see the source of the news and also a short description of the news. As always, please do send me your feedback.

News is back, fresher and faster

Just a short post to let you know that writeKA news is back online, fresher and faster than before. Take a look - http://news.writeka.net.

Newly Launched - writeKA News!

I've just launched the latest addition to writeKA - writeKA News. Here, you can read the latest news from multiple news sources. The content is dynamically created and refreshed constantly. As of now, news is available in English and Hindi. The number of supported languages will be increased as the application becomes more stable.

Hope you will like it, as always, please let me know your views via Feedback.

writeKA - now on Google's सबसे लोकप्रिय सामग्री

Yes! The writeKA Hindi Transliterator gadget made it to the blue list, the list of most popular Google Gadgets on the Hindi version of iGoogle. Its a volatile virtual world out there, so I'm going to enjoy my moment of glory. :-) When you read this, if I'm lucky, it'll still be there. Go to http://www.google.co.in/ig/hi and if you are NOT logged in, iGoogle will show you a list of most popular utilities.


Apart from this great news, I've updated writeKA's transliteration gadgets to use the new intelligent Scripton engine.

You can add them to your Google home page -
writeKA Hindi Transliterator for iGoogle
writeKA Malayalam Transliterator for iGoogle

You can also also add them to your website -
writeKA Hindi Transliterator for your website
writeKA Malayalam Transliterator for your website

Malayalam, now on Scripton!

I've recently added intelligent online transliteration for Malayalam using the new Scripton transliteration engine. Scripton tries to predict what word you are trying to in without using any fixed transliteration map. For example, if you type in malayalam ezhuthan eluppam, then you'll get മലയാളം എഴുതാന്‍ എളുപ്പം.

Go ahead and give it a try - writeKA Scripton - English to Malayalam.
