Music portal Dhingana has gone social (they also won the best opensocial award from Google) and has launched Gmail and iGoogle widget.

The Gmail widget is neatly done – once enabled, you can view the top playlists/create your own lists from your Gmail page.

In order to enable Gmail widget, hop to settings->Labs, enable ‘Add any gadget by URL’ and add “http://www.dhingana.com/gmail” gadget. (details)

The only caveat to this is that you can’t listen to songs in the app – every click takes you to dhingana page (same with iGoogle widget).

This is an interesting distribution play for Dhingana – email is the most social way to go (after all, email is a sort of the starting page for all of us).

What’s your take on Dhinaga widgets?
