So After long last the “Domain King” Rick Schwartz has gotten around to lauching Widgets.com

What is a Widget on the site
A widget is an interactive application that can be installed on web pages, desktop platforms, and mobile devices that accept this type of content. Technically speaking, a web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any HTML-based web page by an end user. Most widgets have a media-rich graphical interface that becomes visible once the code is successfully installed on a web page.
Companies and advertisers create widgets as a marketing vehicle in order to distribute their content to the places that users spend a majority of their time online. Because widgets can be easily grabbed and shared, they have the potential to go viral. People recognize the utility and fun of widgets, and actively endorse them by installing them on profile pages as a way to express themselves to the world. Users install widgets on their pages because they find the content useful, entertaining or cool.
Widgets typically fall into two categories: Social or Utility. Social widgets, typically placed on social networks, blogs and personal pages possess a “one-to-many” opportunity for exposure while Utility widgets are typically utilitarian in function and provide users with features like news, weather, calendars, and notepads.
