Widgets go wild with new Yahoo backing

Yahoo.com acquired Konfabulator, the maker of those shiny little Widget thingies for your Desktop, less than a week ago, and already there's a subdomain at Yahoo to promote the goodies.

The image at left is from the Multiple City Traffic Widget by Sarah Tuohy. Her handy tool sucks down info from Traffic.com and displays the area you select (greater New York City is shown). You can see this bauble and hundreds of others at the Konfabulator Gallery.

To start right at the top of the food chain, visit the big daddy at widgets.yahoo.com. (But don't download the whole 8.8 MB enchilada until you check out the individual selections at the Gallery.)
