Of all the “widget” companies out there, this one has really exceeded all expectations. The comment, polls, review and Navigator widgets dispersed by this startup have gone so viral as to essentially cover hundreds of thousands of registered websites. This success can be attributed once again to the people behind the innovation. I know Khris Loux personally and it is actually quite unbelievable to discover the partnerships, collaborations and refinements to website tools this man and his team have parented.

I'm so frustrated I'm about to pull my hair out! I've checked the FAQs, e-mailed, and no improvement has followed. I'd say look elsewhere, folks.

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:35:56 +0000 http://profy.com/2007/10/03/jskit-widgets/#comment-38417 [...] Disqus is the best example so far of next generation textual interaction between readers/visitors. Some blogs have already veered away from straight comments and added a ‘back end" to their discussions. Disqus take users there in one step with no pain - this will be a big plus with many bloggers. As far as SEO and visitor retention, the benefits should be fairly obvious, and to be honest this is why most blogs will have these elements in the near future. Disqus goes one "forum" farther than JS-Kit, a great widget I reviewed earlier this month. I think we will continue to see refinements in the way people discuss and impart information over the next year - in a way these elements have lagged behind others until lately. Found this post interesting? Consider subscribing to Profy feed. [...] [...] Disqus is the best example so far of next generation textual interaction between readers/visitors.

But I never did do it. I really should since the new WP isn't compatible with the plugin I have. I was thinking about putting that on my site. But I never did do it.

Here are some suggested names for various tools now classified as widgets. Sidebar widgets that are for fun - Wet Willy's Serious Sidebar Widgets like Me.dium - Cogs after Cogswell Cogs RSS and Communication Widgets - Sprockets as in Spacely Sprockets Anything that works with Twitter - Twits Any Facebook add on - Faceoffs Any MySpace widget - Deadspaces Unclassified widgets - taothers, as in the Southern slang one or ta-other I am sure there are many others we could employ to better describe or classify certain small tools that sometimes help at least one person get more utility out of the Web. Perhaps out readers could suggest some? Always, Phil I agree MIG! Here are some suggested names for various tools now classified as widgets.

Sidebar widgets that are for fun - Wet Willy’s

Serious Sidebar Widgets like Me.dium - Cogs after Cogswell Cogs

RSS and Communication Widgets - Sprockets as in Spacely Sprockets

Anything that works with Twitter - Twits

Any Facebook add on - Faceoffs

I am sure there are many others we could employ to better describe or classify certain small tools that sometimes help at least one person get more utility out of the Web. Perhaps out readers could suggest some?
