Yes, I've fallen big for widgets and have javascripted myself into the flash and pander of the web widget wonderland. Gone is the old link - blue, underlined, simply taking you there. Best it could do was change colour or image while hovering over it. Now via the world of embedded content, the gift of collaboration the internet offers is bringing us even more dynamism as well as findable content than ever before.

In a nutshell, widgets allow you to surf one web site's headlining content while being on another one. A hyperlink on steroids - not only are widgets remarkably easy to create - an occupation within the reach of any code hobbiest, they are also an easy way to develop turn-key web sites that amalgamate information from various sources that update themselves.

Nexialist.org, not yet a widget creator itself, has recently gone crazy for channeling widgets into its topic pages, and through experimentally induced and subject related connexulism has upped the anty on links to any given topic. Art, Anthroplogy, News and countless others are now benefiting from widgified links with more to come.
