yahoo widget 4 download create hack

The all new Yahoo Widget with better engine and widget is here, basically what they do was to create some sort of replacement bar for Windows Vista’s widget bar, probably Yahoo find that Microsoft is again bullying and killing off competitor. Well, that’s competition right?

Anyway, the new engine is way much lighter than the previous version 3 and uses up 40% less memory, which is something good for laptop user. Another good news is, it comes with both support for PC and a Mac, this is how it should be, big corporate should create softwares for mac, especially Linux. Like all good things, I believe Yahoo Widget would somehow end up like Netscape, crushed by Microsoft. The only way for them to survive is to innovate, create an online version of Yahoo Widget, allow bloggers the ability to insert the code into their blog.

Some information: Yahoo Widgets, previously called Konfabulator, was acquired by Yahoo in July 2005.

Yahoo to Test Finance Widget

May 22, 2006 · Filed Under Silicon Valley · Comment 

Yahoo Finance will begin testing a new widget that will allow bloggers to put stock quotes and charts on their blogs. Bloggers are allowed to select a combination of charts and Quotes.

I would say it would be another good source of income if Yahoo decide to inculde some form of contextual ads together with the widget. I guess this feature would be somehow limited to only a few financial blogs that discuss about the current markets up and downs.

It would be nice if Yahoo is able to built a widget that display the incoming links, counter stats, search this blogs and live chatting and shoutout box… all in one. This would be great for bloggers like Blogspot. A all in one tool.
