Foleeo was the pre-cursor to the upcoming WarpShare service. It focused around a widget-making service that allowed you to create widgets for your favorite YouTube videos, Flickr photos, or your last 10 tracks logged on Last.fm.

Both the primary business, as well as the corporate name have changed since then, so the website is currently offline and will be relaunched as WarpShare.

What was done?

  • Underlying code is valid HTML 4.01 Strict, unobtrusive JavaScript (including the Prototype & Scriptaculous libraries), and CSS 1&2
