Would it be something like the "New Posts" section? Did you have any thoughts on what you think it should do? I'll make this topic Featured so more people will see it and who know maybe we will be able to come up with something!!

However I think it should just read new topics for each of the popular programming forums. Kinda have tabs for each of something along those lines? Thoughts? Cheers

The only problem is that it really can't do more than search and view topics unless we want people to login to DIC from their igoogle account, which I am not sure people would want to have to do. So, I think searching for tutorials and snippets could probably be done fairly easily (don't know, never made a gadget for google), but taking it further may be problematic.

We use our own login name and our own separate email addresses so to a point, we are in our own world. There may be a RSS gadget, possibly, so that could use the DIC RSS feed. ???

straight vegetarian kid Joined: 29 Jan, 2009 Posts: 3,772 Thanked: 48 times Dream Kudos: 1700 My Contributions	that is an epic idea. i think we should try to make it into a community like project. possibly just starting off as an RSS feed searching through snippets and tutorials then building up to a possible app that data phones could most likely use.

For example, go to the 'Recent Forum Posts' section on the home page and click the RSS symbol to the right of the title. You will be presented with the option to add it to your Google home page or the Reader. You can also goto the Forums page and select a specific forum to receive RSS feeds.
