Figure 3: Joost offers widgets for adding functionality.
With the widgets available, you can add all kinds of functionality to Joost including chatting with other members, a clock, and a news ticker for RSS that you can control the content of. An even bigger plus is that Joost is promising an API for widget development in the future.
