Yahoo Widgets???

has anyone experimented with these or had any success with setting one up??

i'm keen to have a go at creating one but if its not very useful then i'll give it a miss.

would be interesting to hear your feedback.......

thanks

 

You mean from http://widgets.yahoo.com/ ?

Well, if I had a mac I would use them for sure, they look pretty neat.

EDIT: They seem to be for windows too, ill look at them later...

 

I created a few of them back before Yahoo! bought out Konfabulator. High-quality widgets go pretty far, some of them being downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. I'd personally suggest exploiting the Vista Gadgets before that fad passes, to be honest.

Any specifics you'd like to know?

 

it would be good to know some tips for building a good widget actually. good things to include - things to avoid doing as well would be useful.

basically any tips you think are must know facts about widgets.

thanks,

 

What benefits do you get from makeing a widget?

 

marketing. if you have a watch company, and put your name on a cool watch gadget/widget that looks like a watch, the user may be curious and visit your site.

 

I use pc, and I love yahoo widgets nicely displayed, they don't have allot of stuff but some widgets are very nice... I like rss feeder.
