Here is the current edition of the OpenSocial gadgets presentation I gave.

You can see the test deployment of shindig located at:

http://gadgettest.ngenplatform.com/gadgets/ifr?url=<url to your gadget xml>

An example of the storage service directory list gadget can be found at:

in shindig:

Replace the query parameter "up_userguid" with your user's guid on staging to see your own storage items.

Finally, if you'd like to see shindig in action with some google gadgets (in firefox):

Go to http://igoogle.com
Click on "Add Stuff" in the upper right corner
Right click on the name of the widget, and select "Copy link location"
Paste the link into a text edit, it shoule look something like: "http://www.google.com/ig/directory?root=/ig&dpos=top&url=www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml"
Remove everything but the url parameter, in the example above, that would be: "http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml"
Put it in shindig, ie. "http://gadgettest.ngenplatform.com/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml"
