Widget game passes half a million users mark!

I Just wanted to share the fact that our (me and Will) original widget game Bombus has passed the ½ million users mark and our second game Boom has over 300,000. Both of these games have formed part of our research in exploring Web 2.0 ideas within games to create what we called Mobile Games 2.0. As academics is great for us to get such numbers and aids us to present our research with real authority on how these paradigms might work. These are also great pointers to the power of allowing user driven communities to rate and rank content they feel is good and highlight the potential for widgets as application area.
We would particularly like to thank Kevin Sharp at Forum Nokia for starting us down this road as he gave us the idea for the project by suggesting we do a how to Blog on widgets devlopment.
