Who Knew? Widgets Really Work
I was skeptical in July when Eric said we needed to spread face widgets (aka Recent Readers as described on ReadWriteWeb) across the planet, web page by web page. I was wrong, he was right, and we're all fortunate that I don't second-guess him on this sort of thing. Since we exited beta 10 days ago, widget posting has rocketed from 825 sites to 1335 sites. Weekday widget views (i.e. how many times the widgets are loaded into a web page) are up about the same proportion to a half million per day.
The breadth of use is also expanding. Corporate blogs are now beginning to join the mix. The ZillowBlog posted the widget this week. I believe they are the largest company to do so thus far.
Thank you all.
