Hi5 is a social networking website. It is currently the twenty-fifth most popular website according to Alexa, a website-usage information website. The company was founded in 2003 by Ramu Yalamanchi who is also the current CEO. As of January 2009, Hi5 claims to have over 60 million active members (Source: Wikipedia).

Creation of a specific app

The creation of an application is relatively simple, but requires to generate an url alias, as hi5 does not support complete URLs . In order to do so, open your widget in a browser, and click on "embed". Inside the embed code, find the argument after alias= and note it.

  • Open the developer App
  • Click on new application
  • Enter the following url: http://www.widgetavenue.com/wdg/loaders/hi5_[Value of your alias]. For example, if your alias value is url_123456789, then enter http://www.widgetavenue.com/wdg/loaders/hi5_url_123456789
  • Create or open your metadata file, and add the following elements:
	<div class="hi5">                <div class="app_name">[value of your alias]</div>	</div>

The app is ready to run.

Issues
