Anyone into Widgets ? Well it's a growing craze, making Widgets that is. These little toolkits combine a bunch of mini-aps that are more valuable than their total parts. People were making Widgets before they knew they would someday be called Widgets !Yahoo now has a WIDGET ENGINE 3.0 even. There are thousands of them available that you can view and download and you can build your own custom ones too ! You will need OS X 10.3 or newer or Windows XP or 2000. 6.7Mb for a Mac and 11Mb for a Windows box. 512Mb of RAM is recomended. Make sure to visit the Widget Workshop too. I counted nearly 2400 Widgets on my trip thru. It's a tinker-inventors paradice. Once you build them post them for others to download. This Yahoo Weather Widget is a good example of why people find these little projects handy and useful. Look at it here: widgets.yahoo.com/yahooweatherwidget/Here's the Yahoo Widgets Download Page: widgets.yahoo.com/Download the Widgets Engine, then download some Widgets to learn from, and have a try at building your own Widgets !
