What are Go Daddy Gadgets and Widgets?
We offer several free gadgets and widgets that you can use with your operating system, blog, website, or Facebook® account.
Quick Blogcast in Facebook
If you are a Quick Blogcast customer and have a Facebook account, you can connect your blog to your Facebook page. Your blog entries display on your Facebook page, making it easier for your Facebook friends to follow your latest news, photos, and videos.
What differentiates this integration from other blog engines is that your friends can view individual entries and leave comments on them from within Facebook. Because comments are associated with the Facebook users, their profile pictures display with their comments within Facebook. Additionally, because the commenters are your trusted friends, you are unlikely to receive SPAM messages.
A Mini-Feed is a small news feed on your facebook page, displaying recent additions and changes to your page. When you publish a new entry, Quick Blogcast recreates the profile page and generates an entry for your Mini-Feed. Additionally, when a friend comments on an entry, we generate an entry for his or her Mini-Feed. For more information on connecting your Quick Blogcast account to your Facebook page, see the GoDaddy.com Quick Blogcast Facebook page.
GoDaddy.com File Folder for Facebook
You can easily upload and store your personal files, such as pictures, movies, and textual documents, and share them with your friends or with the world. Once you download the GoDaddy.com File Folder to your Facebook account, you can begin using it immediately. For more information, see the GoDaddy.com File Folder for Facebook page.
You control whether each stored file is available to the public, only to your friends, or visible solely to you. You can also add password protection to your stored files.For more information on using the GoDaddy.com File Folder for Facebook, see Working with GoDaddy.com File Folder for Facebook.
GoDaddy.com Domain Check for Twitter
You can easily search for domain names and determine if they're available for registration using Twitter.
By following "Domaincheck" on Twitter, you can send direct messages (D) with the domain name you want to register. Domaincheck will send you a reply with the status of the domain. For more information see, Working with GoDaddy Domain Check for Twitter.
GoDaddy.com Domain Center in Facebook
You can easily create a domain center on your Facebook page where you can search for domain names and determine if they're available for registration.
You can also discover great domain name ideas you'd never thought of and register them before someone else does. The Domain Center builds a list of domain names based on your interests; work experience; school history; and favorite books, movies, and music. Each domain name is checked for availability and displays in a personalized list of possible domain names. For more information, see the GoDaddy.com Domain Center page.
Google Subscribed Links
When you are logged in to your Google account, you can check the availability of domain names using the Google search field. Go Daddy Subscribed Links is a variation of the iGoogle Domain Search and produces immediate search results from any Google search that contains a domain name.
After you subscribe, anytime you enter a domain name into any Google search field, we perform a search and provide you with up-to-the-minute access to domain names as they become available. You can then register the domains immediately. For more information, see the Subscribed Links page.
NOTE: The domain search only returns results on domainname.tld not http://www or on www. For example, if you enter www.coolexample.com, you will not see any result, whereas coolexample.com would produce the results.

You can add a widget to your home page that you and your site visitors can use to check the availability of domain names. For more information, see the Official GoDaddy.com Domain Name Search page.
