Widgets

First, up until just a few days ago, I thought I knew what a widget was. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a widget is a term used to refer to any discrete object, usually of some mechanical nature and relatively small size.

Alas, I have since become educated! In this techno age, widgets display information and invite the user to act in a number of ways. Typical widgets include buttons, dialog boxes, pop-up windows, pull-down menus, and all sorts of neat little gizmos.

The reason I'm writing about widgets today is simply because I now am a fan of widgets and have experienced their usefullness firsthand.

Now here is where I add my recommendation. Over the weekend, I shared a flurry of emails with Fraser Kelton, the Director of Business Development at AdaptiveBlue. I must tell you that Fraser is patient, creative, customer-service focused, and a pleasure to work with! In fact, Fraser took the time to create 15 of the coolest book widgets I could imagine. I have been busy this morning sharing widgets with everybody I know and asking people to post them on their blogs, YouTube, Facebook, websites, or any social networking site they can think of.

Believe me, if you want to get some fantastic widgets made for you, please contact Fraser at support@adaptiveblue.com for their widgets! You won't be disappointed.
