iWidgets.com - Widget Yourself Up

Yes, iWidgets.com is one of those sites with an I in front to make them look more interesting. It’s also a site that will allow you to get your product noticed by the millions of people who use Facebook, MySpace, and all those other heavy widget places. Through the site’s service, you’ll be able to create widgets that will help promote your company. It’s no secret that advertising through social networks is not as successful as advertising though normal sites, so creating a widget might be a way for people to take more notice of you. With this, you’ll be able to target those social network users, and even people who use the quickly-growing iGoogle service (again with the lowercase I’s). If you’re worried about your company or product not getting the exposure you want it to have, then this could be something worth looking into.

“The iWidgets Social Syndication Platform drives traffic and interest for your website by syndicating your content and user activity to social networks and portals.”

This is a surprisingly good idea. It’s bound to get you noticed wherever your widgets are posted.

Will companies take the bait? Will users like the widget thing? Couldn’t this turn as pesky as spam is?
