Fancygens Website Widgets
A widget is a web application. Widgets is a collective name for buttons, sliders, gadgets, flash games, message boxes, clocks, glitter text, and all the other paraphernalia that you might want to place on your website. Google calls widgets gadgets, while others call them widgets, such as Yahoo or Freewebs.
There are many ways to categorize a widget. The first way is to understand that there are desktop widgets, those that you place on the desktop of your computer, and website widgets, which are those you would add to your website, profile, blog, or homepage such as iGoogle. Some widgets can be used on both, and more and more widgets are merging the two.
There are many ways to use a widget. You might want to enhance the look of your own website, adding interesting tools, toys, and applications to your website pages. You might want to use the widget to comment on a friends profile. Or you might want to update your blog with a countdown clock to an event.
Whatever your purpose, a widget is what you want to use.
Widgets can be broken down into several categories. The simplest way to view them is interactive or static. An interactive widget is one that allows your users manipulate. For example, a calculator, when places on your site, allows your site visitors to enter information they desire, and have the widget provide them information based on the kind of widget. Some examples would be a calorie calculator, a crystal ball, or a shoutbox. A static widget is one that users see, but cannot do anything with other than enjoy, or get information from. Some examples of these kinds of widgets are countdown clocks, site clocks, or glitter text.
There are other ways to categorize widgets: some are informational while others are just for fun, some are meant for enhanced communication while others are tools.
Widgets are transforming the internet, being used as powerful advertising tools and ways to stand up and be different in an ever increasing ocean of online content. Fancygens is proud to be one of the leaders in creating high quality widgets that you can use regardless of where or how you decide to create a web presence.
