The Allergy Widget
September 24th, 2006I have been mulling over widgets ever since a friend of mine showed me the Yahoo Day Planner widget on his desktop. This was about 3 months ago. Ever since then, I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz on the net regarding widgets. The Yahoo Widget Gallery seems to be flooded with thousands of widgets submitted by users.
Users are getting extremely creative in developing their widgets. And the big “net-daddies” are looking at widgets with increasing interest too.
Sure they are cool and nifty but I’ve always wondered if this technology has the potential of turning into something big by offering a lucrative channel for users and corporations alike. I did find an ebay widget that allowed you to create an ebay watch which was tied directly to the developers referral partner ID.
I’m going to be using this post to brainstorm about a widget idea that I’ve been thinking about.
