Starting widgets, rocking out and staying connected

  

The latest round-up of articles from the blogosphere

Are you the sharing type? Well, one of the best ways to share your ideas and content is with widgets. And you wouldn’t be alone — marketers and publishers are expected to spend about $40 million on web widgets this year, according to the Marketing Vox news site. Marketing Vox recently published a beginner’s guide to widgets, which are anything that can be embedded in an HTML web page. “One of the best things about widgets,” according to the piece, “is that you can enable sharing. Sharing widgets means more mashing of your ideas and content.”

Like music and chatting with your friends online? The Next* blog announced a new IMVironment that lets you do both. This new release enables you to keep chatting with your friends on Yahoo! Instant Messenger while listening to tunes from popular mp3 blogs. You can save the songs you like on a playlist and send your “remix” to your friend over IM, so they rock out too. 

O’ this social media world! There are so many nifty social media sites out there that it gets a little confusing as to how to keep connected. If you’re a publisher who uses several social media sites, you’ll be interested in this: MyBlogLog blog recently announced the MyBlogLog Connector, which helps you stay connected with various social media sites. “Connector is your own personal online social directory of where all your friends are!” the blog says. “We give you a list of all the people you consider a contact, and all the social web sites they are using. We not only tell you the places they hang out, but the exact table they are sitting at.”

Finally, if you’re still worried about staying connected or how you can constantly update your site, our friends at Boing Boing tell us that there is going to be WiFi available on American and Virgin Airlines. And to think I was excited when they gave me the full can of soda!

An exhibit of a WWI aviator’s outfit in the Canadian War Museum cites the term "fug" boots. UGG Cardy, Ugg Boots have also been popular with surfers and competitive swimmers since at least the 1960s, for keeping warm while out of the water.
