Leafletter : micro-website widgets

Filed under: tools

Leafletter is a great idea, it is basically a way to create a portable mini-website, which you can use as a widget on a blog or website. Make as many Leaflets as you like.

You could use it as a photo or art portfolio, an About us summary, a bio, a presentation, anything you like really…all that’s missing is video and audio.

Basically you can create a widget that has pages, each page gives you a choice of 36 layouts. The content you can put into a page is: photo’s (from your PC, a URL, or even browse Flickr within Leafletter) or text.
You can also choose if you want an image to display in full if it is clicked, and display information if you hover over the “i” icon. Once an image is in full I presume you can even click it to link to a website (in a new window), or for it to link to another page in the leaflet.
People can use the handy menu to access pages from your leaflet.

Here is an example:

Here is a link to another example.

NOTE: I presume the idea of leafletter came from the various Flickr hacks, and services like Slide, Tagloops, SlideShare.

I wonder if you could use Leafletter to embed a widget within a widget eg. within a page of a leaflet, embed a Slideshare presentation, amberjack or mapwing (site tours), evoca (audio), map, or a any widget from Widgetbox and the others. Website creation service Weebly accepts lots of widgets, I wonder if you could browse your Weebly website as a widget, this would cut right into Leafletter.

What about a leaflet within a leaflet.

Leafletter fits right in with the post I did on media mashups.
