Widgets, Gadgets and iBanknet

Our new iBanknet widget - a subject so exciting for me, that I decided to write my first contribution to our blog!

I've developed our own iBanknet widget which provides a simple interface for finding financial institutions on iBanknet.com from your Google Personalized Homepage or, using a Syndicated Gadget, most any web page or blog.

Other widget platforms had restrictions and did not allow us to include more extensive functionality, so we decided to build our own.

Our iBanknet widget currently searches through our growing inventory of over 2,000 U.S. financial institutions, where users can click to view the financial details of any searched institution. The exciting part is that we have SO many ideas of new features that can be added to it that I'm looking forward to adding some more cool stuff to the widget!

As a widget is part of the web 2.0 social networking toolset, we've provided links to some of the social networking websites and personal homepages that allow you to add the iBanknet widget.

Hope you find it useful and have a great weekend!

Launch of Summary of Deposits Section

Halloween is over, the leaves are beginning to drop and the ocean is starting to get "that" color.



What a great way to start November with the launch of our Summary of Deposits section. We had a lot of fun putting it together. Of course, it is completely RSS based with feeds that you can add to your blogs, personalized web pages and feed readers.



Starting with the National Summary, you can sort by state, number of institutions, number of offices, and total deposits. Click on a state and you will get a list of all the institutions in the state, their number of offices, their total deposits in that state, and percentage of deposits in the state. Click on a hyperlinked institution, and you will get detailed financials of that institution.



That took Marian a day and a half from whiteboard to publishing. Shows what a great techie-business owner can do.



We've got our eyes on a couple of XML based products, one is a flash map based product and the other is dashboard software. Once we save our pennies, iBanknet.com will take on a totally different dimension.



We are looking forward to providing you with a positive internet experience and thank-you for visiting iBanknet.com. Remember feedback is always welcome.
