Zango Launches Ad-Supported Widgets

Zango announced on their blog yesterday that they launched their first ad supported widget

The widget will allow people play Extreme Racing 2 through the widget for free. Of course it’s free…it’s Zango. :) Guess what though? Users won’t have to install Zango software to play the widget game. WOW!

So how is the widget ad supported? There will be a text link at the beginning and end of the game. What is the text link for? More free games on Zango….which does require the Zango software to be installed.

Zango also said that this “inaugural” widget will not require the installation of Zango adware to play the game through the widget. This leads me to possibly expect more widgets from them in the future. It also makes me wonder if future widgets might possibly require Zango adware installations.

I do so love following Zango’s blog.
