With widgets--sometimes referred to as gadgets--one can insert video into a blog post, display slideshows on MySpace, get the weather delivered to his mobile device, drag-and-drop his Netflix queue into iGoogle, and much more. There's even a widget for "Meerkat Manor," which displays a video preview of the upcoming episode and fun facts about the Kalahari-desert dwellers. Widgets are also free and relatively easy to use. The one problem is there are just so many from which to choose. In this article, the author gives a quick tour of widgets, along with some picks. |
