Now the ball is the court of the rest of the Big players. now we only need to wait for Widgetbox, Gigya and SpringWidgets response to all this new development in the widget market.

Whatever happens. i will sure remember may as the month that changed Boosted the prospects of the widget market yet again.

As for the comment regarding scalability ... I find that interesting. Our customers - most of whom are medium and large agencies, brand marketers, and entertainment companies, tell us that they reason they are standardizing on MuseStorm and its engagement platform is precisely because building each widget by hand for each platform (the web, Facebook, OpenSocial, Bebo, up and coming social networks like Hi5 never mind mobile platforms such as iPhone) is not a model that scales for them. Most sophisticated clients are well past the point where they can build a widget for one social network and declare victory. The goal is to reach the target demographic where they spend their time which means multiple social networks and mobile devices for that matter are the norm, not the exception.Avatar is exactly right when he points out that these are exciting times for widget companies. Customers tell us that they particularly like the fact that we provide analytics and drag-and-drop components as core parts of the platform. Yes, they could build these things themselves, but why? We save them time and money, allowing them to focus their attention on the more creative aspects of the campaign.As with any new technology, there is always a trade off ... between doing it "your way" and having to build everything from scratch or fitting what you are doing into the constraints of a platform that does the majority of heavy lifting for you. But our clients tell us that the benefits far outweigh the very modest costs - that there is nothing they cannot do using our platform and approach. Thanks for the thoughtful write up, Avatar.
