This time around it is a little of both. Mike Jones, the CEO of widget and widget apps Userplane now owned by AOL (where he also got a title in) did a good a measured post on the economic side of Widget during a time where the USA economy is doing bad and the dollar is also doing bad because of it and how the focus in small niche markets can allow for a great effect in pull for a sustainable business thanks to the way widget can blend and cover many small markets which in sum become a serious thing.
Marketing 2.0 have really jumped into widgets in full force, and that is because they are the bridge on how to use advertising and also work in the logistics so that widget can not only do whatever it was created for but generate a profit.
In this article Michael Jones big points are:

Overall a must read.
