And now . . . with widgets!
TypePad has announced widgets for its blogs. These widgets will flood like lemmings across the blogscape, but ultimately this will be a good thing. I hope the people at WordPress are cooking up something as good or better.
As widgets gain more intelligence, and more capabilities, they will enable networks of brand intelligence across blogs. Think of them as syndicated identities, offering depth, dimension and diversion from the confines of a click. We’ve written about them before.
Blogs are about to get richer. And widget creators–at least the good ones–may share in the wealth.
UPDATE: Early stage WordPress widgets now available from Automattic.
