Will the 2009 Winter Olympics widget appear here?

Since the 2008 Beijing Summer Games are over…I’m waiting to see if this widget will auto-switch to the 2009 Winter Games.

I am actually excited to possibly see some new features for the widgets this year.

TechCrunch excerpt:

NBC Prepares For The Winter Olympics With Silverlight, HD Video, And Facebook Connect“:
NBC will be using a video player based on Microsoft Silverlight technology to offer full HD videos. Except this time, the video player will have DVR-like functionality, with the ability to rewind the video, highlight clips and save them.

NBC’s old slug encouraging you to utilize their widgets:

Stay up to date on the Beijing Olympics without leaving your favorite site. Grab an NBCOlympics.com widget and put it on your site for news, video clips, and more. Select a widget from the list below and follow the simple instructions to get started.

Featured Widget > TOP NEWS, VIDEO and PHOTOS I have pasted here so I can easily see the switch.

I have taken a screen capture for posterity. It seems that some work may be happening. Notice the lack of images accompanying the stories. Yet the stories are up to date about current events in the Olympic field.

2008 games

There are 7 widgets in all to choose from (so far)
* > TOP NEWS, VIDEO AND PHOTOS
* > SLIDESHOWS
* > VIDEO
* > ATHLETES TO WATCH
* > MEDAL COUNT
* > RESULTS & SCHEDULES
* > TV & ONLINE LISTINGS

Spurs team widget

November 28th, 2007

Spurs fans now have a widget

San Antonio Spurs have partnered with Clearspring to bring you the ‘Spurs Team Widget’

With this widget you can watch news and highlight videos, catch scores and current standings and even buy tickets. Clearspring creates awesome widgets with a whole host of ‘One Click’ add options to your favorite blog or social profile pages. I especially like that fact that the widget is viral and you can grab the embed code right from the widget itself.

Myspace users who are Spurs fans will be happy too. The Spurs widget works there as well.
