Widgets are mini-applications that generally come packaged in a little window, and can be dragged and dropped onto a Web page and offer a scaled down version of features you would ordinarily get at a full-fledged site.
YouTube (www.youtube.com) is perhaps the quintessential example of the success of widgets. YouTube is a Web site that enables users to share and view online video clips. When you visit a video at the YouTube Web site, you'll find a chunk of HTML that you can copy and then paste into your blog, MySpace page, or other Web site. Visitors to your site can then watch the video without having to click over to the YouTube site. Every time someone embeds a YouTube video on a page, it serves as an advertisement for the YouTube service.
If you provide a useful service or interesting content on your Web site, you can make it available as a widget by posting HTML that others can copy and paste in their pages. The content then becomes directly accessible from those pages, and it serves as an advertisement for your site. Visitors to those pages will become familiar with the service or content and may click the link to visit your site. (Widgets typically provide a link back to the site that makes the widget code available.) In some cases, they will copy the widget into their own pages.
