Hi Wade,

This sounds like a fun project! While I don't have prior experience with social networking platforms I would assume that you should be able to use a standard functional spec for these widgets. 

You might have to consider some key things such as:

• do the widgets have a UI component,
• do the widgets have a state (aka config file/db),
• specific design decisions/design for interfacing with the various platforms (services based vs. html based vs. etc.)

Let us know what you come up with!

Sincerely,

- Adrian
