I wanted to make a short heads up to everyone on what is happening with Widgets Lab and where is Derek, Widgets Lab Founder and Lead Blogger.
Derek is the voice
First of all, Derek has not gone anywhere. while brief, you can still see his posts, it is just that he is quite busy lately in his day job, but no worries, he is not going anywhere and i have not replaced him as some messages i received implied. i am just taking care of the Blog because that is what he trusted me to do but Derek is still at charge and always will be in charge of Widgets Lab.
The Blog beats hard, we will make it beat faster.
We have been thinking on the blog and how to improve it and we have done what we thought is best as the Blog has grown at a sure, even if slow pace. now, we have decided it`s time to start accelerating the process so we will revamp Widgets Lab little by little so it gets better, faster and can offer even more content.
Advertising in Widgets Lab
Widgets Lab continues to receive advertising. so please inquire if interested, we maintain that we are the biggest and most up to date widget related blog right now and we will continue to be so.
Widgets lab reaches a very focused and desirable niche market that is seeing a incredible growth and that is getting so big that it has become our greatest motivation to up the pace soon, so we can keep up with it.
Considering this, we are gonna also revamp out advertising options and pricing structure with more ways to serve advertising to the interested and to offer more value at a lower cost in this very focused niche market we are in. That doesn’t`t mean you have to wait to ask, you can inquire now.
The Future is reaching us faster
In the time Widgets Lab has existed, the landscape of widgets has changed dramatically and the lines on what is a widget have been blurred so much, we even got mixed terms like Widget-App and Widgetized Apps to try to put sense to them. and not only that. they have jumped from being a web only thing to be everywhere, to the desktop, to mobiles and into Hardware. We know this.
And that is why we are covering those angles too and will find a way to better convey and categorize widgets in those contexts, so that calls for the renovation of the blog and extending the way you can find and interact with the posts. we know that and that has been considered.
Looking up to later
We got surprises this year for the blog and I hope everyone interested in widgets jumps on for the ride.
Thanks. I hope this answers your questions as regular visitors or as participants of the widgetsphere.

Avatar, you have hit the nail (clavos) on the head!
Widgets keep expanding into more and more markets as promotion tools, advertising and just plain cool web enhancements.
2008 will prove to be a crazy year in the widget market. There will be house cleaning as has happened in the past. But we will all benefit from the improved technologies backing widgets.
Excellent post!
Thank you Avatar
