Enjoying the spotlight
| Thursday, March 27th, 2008 | --Sean |
When you have a very specific function that you need brought right to your desktop, Yahoo! Widgets are there for you. With nearly five thousand to choose from, there's a pretty good chance that someone's had the same need as you have, except they're not as lazy and actually devoted the time to putting together a solution. Once you start using Yahoo! widgets, though, you'll occasionally have a hankering for a widget that's good, not merely functional. Being able to search by rating helps, and you can also check out the archive of Spotlit widgets. These are widgets that the gallery moderators have singled out as being a cut above the rest -- regardless of what you're looking for, you might want to check these out. The Spotlight feature itself has been around for a while, but I just now noticed the archive, which is great for us people who haven't been keeping up with downloading new widgets and missed a few updates.
No, I'm not promoting this simply because my basketball widget is in there.
