Widgets Trove

A company based in Silver Spring MD called Freewebs is offering a collection of free widgets that are worth checking out if you're looking to add widget functionality to your website. (Note, however, that it's still important to consider loading time when incorporating widgets.)

The types of widgets you can browse through include:
  • Video

  • Polls

  • Games

  • Ratings and comments

  • Guestbook for messages from visitors

  • Forms for collecting information from visitors

  • Counter for displaying data on site traffic

  • Shout box (a type of live chat)
Be forewarned that many of Freewebs' widgets are branded, i.e., they serve a dual purpose of delivering functionality and helping a sponsoring company promote itself and its products.
