RT Announces Our New Widget!

We know you all love visiting RT and getting all the good stuff straight from the source, right? Right! But let’s say you have a blog, or a website, or a MySpace/Facebook profile, and you want your close friends, dear family, and gaggle of anonymous internet lurkers to be exposed to the awesomeness of our site. What can you do?

Luckily, we anticipated this situation and put our people to work straightaway. After slaving away for 3 centuries, here’s what our final product looks like:

As you can see, there are four tabs for you to click on, labeled News, Movies, Pictures, and Trailers, as well as the standard RT search bar. Here’s what they offer:

1. NEWS: This displays the most recent RT News items, and it refreshes every 10 minutes.
2. MOVIES: You’ll get a Certified Fresh pick recommendation, followed by a list of opening movies for each week.
3. PICTURES: Want easily accessible photos of your favorite celebs and movies? Here’s where you’ll get a specially selected Picture of the Day, which will change, uh, daily.
4. TRAILERS: Another daily feature, we’ll be slotting featured trailers in this spot.
5. SEARCH BAR: This one’s easy; type in a movie title or celeb/critic name, and you’ll get results the same way you would on RT.

Pretty self-explanatory, right? All you have to do to get it for yourself is click on the “Options” button in the bottom left, and you’ll get a variety of ways you can take it with you, including standard HTML, javascript, and a slew of customized codes for sites like MySpace, Facebook, Blogger, and WordPress. Finally, we have Rotten Tomatoes for everyone!

P.S.

Desktop functionality is now active! Click on the green button next to the “Options” button, or the top left icon in the “Options” menu.
