Good Bye to WiiOS

If you haven't already, read this post.

It has come time to say goodbye to this project. There's just no interest in it and trying to optimize stuff for viewing on a Wii is hard. So I'm ending this once and for all. I honestly never expected this to be big and have been thinking of closing it for a while now. Today it's official. I'll be leaving this blog up but just don't expect any activity. I've stopped getting weekly page view reports and will no longer be accepting comments. Any comments will be rejected and as you'll soon see, will be turned off in full.

So for those of you who did take a look here, thanks for looking. I hope you'll understand this choice of mine.

Good bye,

  France Hopper

Just a few things you should know...

After doing some research it appears our name conflicts with another project.

This WiiOS project was created for trying to make an iGoogle home page optomized for Wii, along with a few other things as well.

If you are looking for the WiiOS application that is supposed to look like a Wii console on a computer, you have landed in the wrong place my friend.

That being said, a few things are going to change.
1) We might be moving this page and a few others to a new home page (details to come)
2) The iGoogle tab hasn't been updated in... well forever. It may or may not receive any updates it is depending on a lot of stuff right now.
3) Clearly we're going to need a name change. Any suggestions would be welcome (please leave in a comment)
4) We are currently not taking anymore requests to receive the iGoogle tab.
5) This project might shut down completely, depending on how things go. However, don't expect any updates for a while.

Thanks for you interest in this project and good bye for now!

Yep that's right, I've found a flash media player that works on Wii. Right now I'm working on setting a few up. It won't be exactly the way I hoped though but I think it's a decent alternative.
