As far as we were concerned, the multi connector helped users to make multiple connections between the same widget endpoint and others endpoints. That seemed helpful but the truth is we can also make multiple connections between the same endpoint without making any use of the multi connector. That is the reason why we found it useless. In the image named ‘Useless multiconnector utility_1’ we can see two red squares. The most left one is pointing to a connection made with the multi connector and we can see that the left hand side of that connection, which it is actually Input Box - Keyword, it is also connected to other widgets in the wiring map. The other red square, the most right one, is pointing to two different connections made with the same endpoint, Map Widget -Input 1 in this case, and those connections don’t use the multi connector. That is reason why we found the multi connector useless. How to replicate: 1. Log in 2. Go to mashup 3. Add some widgets to the mashup 4. Go to wiring map 5. Make a connection between widgets making use of the multiconnector 6. Make two different connections with the same endpoint without using multiconnector 7.
