Our good friend Derek over at Widgets Lab was kind enough to provide us with a Pownce invite. If you didn’t know, Pownce is currently in private beta and available by invite only. We have not spent enough time on the system yet to provide a review, so here’s the info from the Pownce About page.

“Pownce is a way to send stuff to your friends. What kind of stuff? You can send just about anything: music, photos, messages, links, events, and more. You can do it all on our web site, or install our lightweight desktop software that lets you get out of the browser.” - Pownce About Page

If you’re interested in Pownce and would like an invite, we have 3 available for our readers. Just leave a comment on this post with your request and make sure to enter your email address in the email field of the comment form.

Update (2007.06.02): Epileptic Gaming will be covering the Blizzard US Regional Finals for Warcraft 3 LIVE this weekend so check them out.

We build a custom Stickam player widget for our friends over at Epileptic Gaming. Epileptic Gaming is a live internet show focusing on video games and the gaming culture. They do a great show so if you are into gaming you should definitely check them out. The show airs LIVE every weekday at 7:00 PM Eastern / 4:00 PM Pacific.

Epileptic Gaming utilizes Stickam to do the live video broadcast and chat sessions. We have wrapped the Stickam player in our own custom widget. The custom widget displays the Epileptic Gaming player by default and their list of Stickam friends. If the show is LIVE, the player will auto start. To open the full video chat room, click on “enter chat”. You can check out their friends if you like. Friends who are LIVE on Stickam will have a webcam icon next to their name.

The widget also helps promote CAGcast, another gaming show.

If you like the show and would like to spread the word, click the “i” icon to get the code for the widget.

Currently playing is Critical Hit, “a weekly panelist show where leading members of the industry will get together for honest, frank discussions about the inner workings of the gaming industry and gaming communities.” Critical Hit airs Fridays at 2:30 PM Pacific (on the EG account) before the Epileptic Gaming show.

[update (05/28/2008) - widget removed and discontinued due to lack of Stickam API support]
