Introducing the PBworks Twitter Widget
As the Internet evolves, PBworks evolves with it. You can see this evolution at work in the plugins we include in the product. For a long time, we’ve had two product-specific plugins: YouTube and Skype. We’ve just added a third: Twitter. In one sense, we don’t really need to add product-specific plugins. We have genericContinue reading “Introducing the PBworks Twitter Widget”
