December 19th, 2009
Adding widgets to your blog or website is generally done for a couple of reasons. You are either adding widgets for a personal preference or as a tool to keep your readers engaged.
Why use Personforce?
A job listings widget such as the one from Personforce.com is a simple way to add a measure of reader engagement. Its viewed more as tool than a personal customization like a slideshow or music player. You can be assured that the jobs that are listed in the Personforce Job Box are legitimate, high quality positions with reputable organizations. They charge premium rates for job listings, which weeds out the scams and such.

Google Translate Element
December 17th, 2009
Google Web Elements has released the Translate Element.
This is a simple copy and paste embed code that adds translation functionality to your web site.
Lets see how it looks and performs.
Correction:
I had to display an image for the Translate button in order to place the actual widget in my sidebar. Otherwise there was a conflict.
…Damn…that was fast!
I think the Google Translate Element just kicked the shit out of ConveyThis…sorry guys…but you’re out of here.
I may have to look at some other Google Web Elements.
