I'm now a Facebook developer!
I take a strange bit of pride in something that required little more than a copy and paste job, but thanks to Widgetbox's App Accelerator, I turned my blog into a bona fide Facebook application. I even have my very own API key.
I love it when developers come out with cool, fun stuff and what is more fun than a “widget.” I mean, even the name connotes fun.
No one can deny that the web is being widgetized. That is particularly true of blogs. Typepad has dozens of them, as does WordPress. I just found a site called Widgetbox that allows you to turn your blog into a widget using an easy 1-2-3 step wizard. The beauty of this idea is that it allows your content to be syndicated on other blogs.
Widgetbox, an online directory for syndicated web "widgets," or small interactive services that can be embedded onto a webpage or blog, formally announced its launch on Monday, after completing a private and public beta.
As Richard MacManus opined, Widgets are the New Black. Widgets are particularly popular within social networks and on blog sidebars, extending the reach or news, websites, and product of services.
