Apparently, with widgets all the rage, the newest wrinkle is
the Mini Me of Blogs, the blidget. As a sometimes late-night sports blogger, I
found out about this trend when an unusual e-mail found its way into my inbox a
few days back. It was from a Widgetbox employee and friend of former Organic
Josh Morris. He wrote to say that he had been digging the blog for a while and
had decided to create a blidget out of it. After explaining what the hell a
blidget was, he went on to say that with my blessing he would make it public
and let folks start downloading to their FaceBook pages and the like.

So I went to the site and checked out what they had done.

The interface is clean and legible enough. The title, intro
copy and a wee image are RSS’d into the widget, albeit without any embedded
YouTubelage. And if you register as the owner, they provide you with usage
statistics. All in a convenient to-go package. Turman approved.
