This websites provides a framework to make and share widgets.

A widget is a small application which can be embedded in any html page.

In my earlier cricket madi website, i had used 2 widgets .. Yahoo’s cricket scores widgets and a chat widget.

Similarly combining more widgets like the we can make cool applications. Widgetbox has a large gallery of widgets for public use.

Once we have made a widget in widget box.. we can easily share it in social networking sites like facebook, orkut etc… or blogging sites blogger etc.

WidgetBox have also introduced a new term called blidget (or at least I haven’’t heard of it till now). Blidget are blog feeds as widgets. Another feature that they provide is building facebook application.

I will try these sometime later.

I don’t  have to say much about this. Looks like the world has gone crazy about it. Writing this post just for the sake of completeness.

Google Adsense is a Ad Service. A website publisher can register to this service and show ads in his website. If a visitor clicks on the ad the publisher get some money.

Google takes the burden of going through the website and showing relevant ads which the user is most likely to click.

GooglePages is a free Website Hosting service provided by Google…

One can easily create there websites using the Google Page Creator. Its a online tool and has lots of templates to choose from.

We can also upload other files to the googlepages server.

I created the CricketMadi.com files locally and uploaded them.

Apart from the ease of use I found some shortcoming in the site..  The website name the extra googlepages.com looks bad. I think I read somewhere that we can buy our own domain name and redirect it to this site but haven’t tried it myself.

Another issue is the upload feature. It allows for only one file to be uploaded at a time. I guess it is because of the fear of Spam. But google should think of making it better.

I have installed an interesting application – BlogJet. It’s a cool Windows client for my blog tool (as well as for other tools). Get your copy here: http://blogjet.com
