Where does the rubber hit the road between the content provider, clearspring and the final publishing environment?</p> Nice post.

We hope that our positioning as an open, measurable, and scalable cross-platform widget development environment continues to be well-accepted.

Most people I speak to still don’t know what widgets are. I think vista will go a long way to educating the public (which will still take a while).

In the meantime I think there are several companies that can be successful if they can get the right content married with a great distribution strategy.

At yourminis.com we believe in portability of widgets. We enable you to use our widgets to build personalized start pages (public or private), embed individual widgets on your blog / myspace / personal site and in the near future run the same widgets on the desktop leveraging Adobe’s Apollo platform.
