What are web widgets?

Web widgets are portable chunks of the Web that can be easily embedded into a webpage. Use them to get news, information, entertainment, decoration, or whatever else you can think of for your blog, profile page, personal home page, or web site.

You can be assured that your privacy and security are our top priority. We provide an extra security layer around all of our widgets to prevent viruses and other attacks. We built this security layer because your privacy is important to us and we want you to use our widgets without worry.

Make a widget

Whether you are a hard-core coder or you just tinker around with the web, we provide you with easy to use tools to build, distribute, and track your own web widgets. You don't even need to know any code. Turn your blog into a widget or create a Facebook app in minutes. What's more, you can turn your widgets into cash when you sign-up for DevShare.
