I'm still pretty geeky about all things widgets...even as they share the limelight with iPhone sites and apps and other kindred souls.Widget distribution is, indeed, a big topic in advertising and marketing these days. On the personal side, I think galleries and widget-love from top bloggers and major tech sites are a smart and necessary choice.On the corporate and campaign rollout side, we created the first distribution service that allows for the seeding of widget and app campaigns across widget ad networks. Basically, a widget is seeded to people who are interested in it, and then it takes on a viral life of its own from there.Seeding is a necessary and inexpensive part of any serious campaign, but the viral views and engagements are free...and they have a long tail, to boot.Just some thoughts to share on the full widget spectrum.Thanks again for all your hard work.

Just some thoughts to share on the full widget spectrum.
