Widgets
A widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. Typical widgets are buttons, dialog boxes, pop-up windows and pull-down menus.
WidgetMinded
Widgets are immensely popular on social networking sites such as Facebook. Componence has developed a special widget gallery for Facebook users called WidgetMinded. With this gallery people on Facebook can rate all widgets. This way it is easy to find exactly the widgets to suit your profile.
Facebook
On Facebook you can add widgets to your profile to show who you are and what you like. There are widgets about the weather, daily quotes from Albert Einstein, the latest news from CNN, but you can also opt for the Angelina Jolie picture gallery.
Users
The WidgetMinded gallery comes with powerful search functionalities to help users find the widget they want for their profile. "We are offering a huge number of widgets in just one application." Says Chris Gobel, Business Development director of Componence. "Now Facebook users can easily add widgets to their Facebook pages."
Philosophy
This functionality is part of the company's philosophy: "We believe that end-users will dictate more and more what they want from their web experience. That's why we give those people the tools to easily add widgets to their own pages. This illustrates our commitment to the new direction in Portal development."
