Has your project already reached the main page of Yandex?

Some have already heard that Yandex has launched a program to support sites with regional content . But the beauty of innovation is that thanks to it, not only regional, but in general any projects can place their block widget on the main page of the search engine:




')
The developer makes a widget, adds it to the system and receives a link code, through which users can add it to their Yandex main page:

+ Widget? Ok!

add to Yandex

When the number of people using the widget exceeds a certain threshold (unfortunately, I forgot: either 500 or 1000), it will go to the Yandex widget catalog. Plus, if it satisfies the conditions of the regional program , the link to the widget (after passing moderation) can be placed directly on the main page of the search engine.

If you already itch to try, here is the link to the documentation section: http://wdgt.yandex.ru/

The widgets themselves are HTML pages that use the JavaScpipt API and are loaded into an iframe. A page can be either stored on Yandex or downloaded from another server.
By the way, it’s not at all necessary to write a widget: there is a “constructor” in the system, which allows, for example, to create a widget from RSS in a couple of minutes. You can also do so-called. “IFrame widgets” that show a piece of a given page, but, in my opinion, they are rather inconvenient: you can only adjust the height of the viewport, but not its position.

In general, the situation with services - the start pages, on which all the necessary information for the user from the Web is collected, is ambiguous. On the one hand, the idea itself looks very attractive, Rambler released myrambler.ru , Yandex began to support widgets. On the other hand, “stand-alone” such services do not seem to feel very good: pusk.ru looks abandoned, AOL has turned yourminis.com into a regular widget catalog.
It is argued that the advantage of Yandex widgets over other services will be that the user does not need to customize his entire start page, he will simply add new blocks to the already familiar ones.

Do you think this technology will be a success? For example, did you have a desire to create a Yandex widget for your project?
