Last year I had posted on widgets and how cool they were and today I read this very interesting article by the Washington Post on how Widgets are the new technology wave.

"The new role of companies is not to produce content and spoon-feed it to users," said Hooman Radfar, 25, the founder of Clearspring. "Their new role is to create tools people want and push them out so people can use them however they choose."

This article also emphasizes on how users now no longer want to be spoon fed and want to create widgets that have various uses. Another avenue of the widgets this article mentions is how it has a lot of potential for advertisers.
