Extending your website with picture albums, videos, polls and more

There are more and more cool and useful tools out there on the Internet. No single website can dream of providing each and every service anyone can ever need. Thus, a hugely popular concept of 'mashups' has been born - embedding your website with 'widgets' - little pieces of content and functionality provided by other websites.
Wild Apricot system is designed to address key administration tasks for a member-based organization: member database, event registrations, mass emails, online forms, website content management, donations and payments. However, there are situations when we might not have a tool for you (for example, Wild Apricot does not have a built-in polls functionality) - or when our built-in function (e.g. mass emails) is not as robust as some other services dedicated solely to this function.
Thus we have decided to compile some examples and ideas on how you can extend and enhance Wild Apricot with some third-party tools:

Specific examples:

• PayPal Widget for Online Store
• Adding custom online forms via Wufoo
• Adding embedded audio
• Adding text search to your site
• Adding Video clips
• Uploading and Playing A Video File
• Embedded photo galleries
• Inserting HTML forms
• Adding Facebook and Other Social Media Widgets
• Polls and surveys
• Adding flash to your site
• Adding Twitter Widget To Wild Apricot

There are many other 3rd party tools that can be embedded similarly e.g.

Delicious feed integration

Zoho Show

Google Calendar
