Minekey Lunch 2.0 was an tremendous success. The 263 guests chowed down to BBQ food on the Plug and Play Tech Center Patio. Everyone seemed to enjoy the DJ’ed music, informal networking and presentation by CEO Delip Andra of Minekey’s Recommendations Widget. Guests included engineering, marketing, operations and investment folk from all corners of the Valley. Thanks to Terry, David, Joseph, Mark and Jeremiah of Lunch 2.0 for helping organize the event.

We’re excited about the new set of features added to the Minekey website today, which we’re sure will increase the value of our widget to bloggers, publishers and end users.

New features include:

• Widget Gallery. The Gallery makes it easy for you to syndicate personalized widgets. By creating widgets for the Gallery that display content from your blog, you can secure exposure to a much wider audience.

• OPML Support. In just a few simple steps, you can now display relevant content from your favorite sources in Minekey widgets. By uploading your OPML files, you can quickly create widgets that display content from your blogroll.

• Network. Profile your blog and browsing interests, and showcase your widgets.

• My Reports. We’ve improved the charts significantly and now make available statistics, including the capability for you to track how many of your widgets are being used by other bloggers.
