Hooman Radfar has a potentially interesting new blog called Widgify devoted to widgets. He has inaugurated the blog with a series of posts entitled "Widgets are the New Web Pages".
Money quote from the first installment:
Although there are a number of terms used to describe Web Widgets (Modules, Gadgets, Badges, Elements, Capsules, Snippets…), one thing is certain - these seemingly innocuous little modules are popping up all across the World-Wide-Web. For now, the use of Widgets has been limited to the techno-elite. However that is all about to change. The same corporations that were unsure of the value of the original web, are rushing to embrace this new medium. Marketers are encouraging them to capitalize on the new channel, recognizing the foundational role that Widgets will play in the emerging Web as a Platform. Just as web services enable developers to mix and match digital content and services to deliver new applications, Widgets will enable non-technical users to mix and match pieces of the web to create custom experiences for themselves and others.
