Web Goodies Roundup

Widgetbox - widgetizing the web
Widgetbox v1.5 Released
On Friday night, Widgetbox released version.

This release improves the ability of a widget to “go viral”. In particular:

  • Get It Now. When someone sees a widget out in the wild, like on a blog or MySpace, they can get it right there, without going back to Widgetbox. New and existing widgets get this automatically — be they Flash or HTML/Ajax — and it works on every site, including MySpace.
  • New places to install widgets. Most notably, no-code installs to Google homepage, Netvibes, Pageflakes, and “email this widget to a friend”.

About Widgetbox

Widgetbox is a directory and syndication platform for web widgets for blogs and other web pages. Our widgets work with TypePad, WordPress, Blogger, MySpace as well as most other blogs, sidebars or websites. No plug-ins are needed, and they’re free!
