Widgetbox

I stumbled across Widgetbox by accident and after having a play around I've added a couple of the available widgets to my MySpace page. I may also add 1 or 2 here if I can find the right ones.

Anyway, from the Background page at Widgetbox:

Widgetbox™ is an open web widget marketplace and syndication platform. It serves both the developers who create widgets and the web publishers who use widgets on their sites.

A web widget is a small piece of interactive content (like an ad or a game) that can be dynamically embedded into a web page. Widgets allow for a new level of expression and creativity as personal web publishers use them to create value and interest in their blogs, social networks, personal home pages, and web sites. Widgetbox enables developers to easily build, distribute, promote, monitor and monetize widgets. It enables web publishers to easily find, configure, integrate and manage widgets.

Web publishers can search the Widgetbox gallery and use the categories, ratings and reviews to find the right widget. Once a widget is selected, Live Preview™ enables the web publisher to see the widget exactly as it will look configured for their site. The configuration is done without coding and the installation to the blog or web site is a visual process. In addition to this ease of use, Widgetbox has unique capabilities that make widgets smarter and more useful:

• Widget Panels: Drag & drop placement makes it easy to install and manage widgets within Widgetbox.
• Widget Metrics: Widget publishers get a metrics dashboard that allows them to track the spread of their widgets across the web.
• Live Widgets: Widgets are always “live” within blogs and web pages. They can be re-configured instantly and without touching HTML code.
• Smart Blogs: Widgets can be “tag aware”, meaning a web publisher can make widgets react to the content of their web site. For example, an image widget might display images related to the content of the most recent blog post.
