Hopping on the Widget Bandwagon
Posted on April 20th, 2007by Jon Thornton, Tech Whiz
Many websites have found that linking to ParkWhiz is an easy way to serve their users better. CenterStageChicago.com makes their guide to Chicago even more informative by helping their users find parking, and TechCocktail links to ParkWhiz so that you never have to worry about parking when attending one of their awesome events.
Now linking is pretty cool and all, but sometimes it just feels a little too “Web 1.0″. What if there was an easy way to put live parking info directly on a website or blog? Maybe a map or something. Yeah, that’d be neat.
Introducing the ParkWhiz Map Widget. We’ll generate all the code for you, and you just paste it into your website or blog. The map shows the 20 closest parking spots near a point, with links to ParkWhiz.com for detailed information and more results.
