Web 2.0 Awards

The site I selected was YourMinis. This is a great site. It lets you browse hundreds of widgets and copy, edit, and add them to your site for free. I copied the Sony Top 40 widget which you can see in the right margin of this blog page. The Sony Top 40 widget keeps me up to date on current hit songs. YourMinis also allows users to partner with them to build, distribute and analyze widgets that users create themselves. I'm not sure how useful these types of widgets would be in a library setting but the potential for personal use is limitless. I guess in a library you could use a widget like the Sony Top 40 to keep patrons informed of upcoming events, new resources, and other relevant news.
