Preferences

Binary.com Open Social API override common OS prefs/setprefs and allow developer to store widget preferences in the local storage (defined in Scripts/Binary/Binary.OpenSocial.js)

All methods to get preferences reading data from the gadget url (like before), e.g. for mywidget.html?myKey=test

prefs.getString('myKey') //returns 'test'

however, local storage values has higest priority, so

prefs.set("myKey", 'new value')
prefs.getString('myKey') //returns 'new value' until local storage cleanup, or user remove widget from the dashboard, or prefs.set("myKey", null)

The upper case **ID ** key in the url equals **moduleId **(Open Social gadget identifier), and ID value idendifies the gadget instance on the any dashboard. The ID will have different value for the same gadget, added to the dashboard two times.
