Widgety Goodness is a conference centered around widgetification, which in the end is about making sense and setting up a mindset for High Spread of web content, be it from a social netowork a blog platform or of course widget providers.
it does makes sense for such conference to happen now after all the burst of interest in widget distribution, management and advertising in the last 2 months. so i can see this conference as a culmination of that growinng interest.
So, if you are in the widget biz, live in the uk or gonna be around there in december 06 you can stop by brighton and check it out.
You can also drop by Ivan Pope at Sniperoo where he offer a more concise take on it:
First U.K widgetization conference
Ivan has been kind enough to give us two (2) FREE tickets to the WidgetyGoogness conference. If you are interested, please comment on what you think the future (2008 and beyond) of widgets holds as far as innovation and monetization. (Remember the conference is being held in the UK)

I guess in a near future someone will come out with a solution for all the issues surrounding the widgetification. Distributors will set some rules like maximum and minimum dimensions and file sizes, and will fix many of the gaps they currently have thanks to the feedback they will be collecting from different sources; we will see more widgetized mash-ups an other creative stuff mixed up with the usual not-so creative clocks, countdowns, etcetera as there would be many developers joining the field that would need to start somehow…
The mash-ups will be related to APIs from the different social networks, specially from Facebook which has been the flagship since the past few months and followed by other big social networks.
Monetization will continue being a problem, as the big widgets distributors will monetize more and more not taking into account the developers as these grow day after day until small distributors will offer better rewards to the developers and the situation will balance.
There will be some issues with accessibility and some organism will have to take control and set up more rules.
Widgety Goodness 2nd edition (in November 2008) will last for a whole weekend and will be hosted in the same nice & beautiful city of Brighton…
did I get the ticket?

The pre-conference has already begun on Backnetwork. Speakers, participants, pundits and extended widget community are already together, connecting and sparking off each other at http://wg07.backnetwork.com/. Widgety bloggers can contact me for a special invitation to join if they can’t make it to the big event itself (infact you might jag a freebie to the conference if you can offer some good reasons why). The network will continue for 12 whole fruitful months after 6 December. Hope to see / hear from everyone who can make it to the network and/or the conference in Brighton (just 30 mins from Gatwick and one of the most fun, digital places in Europe right now). Bestest - libby@authenticblogging.com (WGUK07 Social Network Facilitator). Please tag posts and flickr photos about the conference WGUK07 to be aggregated and shared with the whole network.
