I've got the same question.  If I could restate the goal as I
understand it in general terms:

1) we've got a large back-end app, to which we'd like to drive
viewers.  This benefits both ourselves and the containers.
2) so we write a widget to run within a container like LinkedIn,
AND / OR
3) we make use of container functionality within our back-end app.

#3 gives some nice abilities to users once they get to our app, so the
question remains how to get them there.

#2 is essentially advertising a link to your back-end app.  So how do
the containers choose what widgets out of thousands are displayed?

Am I missing the point entirely?
