Orkut OpenSocial App : Emote

Tried out Emote Dev. by RockYou Today. I like the way the app displays the content depending on the page its Loaded (Showcase View or Canvas View). Here is the Screen shot of it
Now with this sort of Showcase view it looks Perfect as an App. rather then just dumping the app right on the Profile Page. Some Tips on How an app should be displayed on Profile page.
1. Make use of the small area Perfectly by making it more attractive and the same time it should describes the purpose of the app.
2. No Sound please : If its a Flash Game, App, E-card, Viral Animation.. Please Keep the sound in Mute Mode. Take a case where a person installs a Game and an E-card both with sound once its loaded... Person like me who usually browse through Profile mostly during late hours ..coz that the time i usually network.. and think of a situation when all Apps Starts making noise .. at one particular movement.. MAN!! i hate.. and i guess we all do.. So NO SOUND on Load of the App on Profile Page
3. Make your App's "Showcase View" in such a way that it consume less net usage or minimal.

Emote App : Review
Well its not working fully but looking at the UI it looks that most of will find it easy to use.


Cant comment much on it as its still under development Process.
