You might have noticed that the front door of www.widgetbox.com now shows several key statistics that every blogger and widget developer will want to keep their eyes on.
The number of widgets served up to blogs since Widgetbox began operations.
The month-on-month increase of the size of the widget economy, as measured by growth in subscriptions (i.e., the number of widgets put onto blogs).
This is Widgetbox's first foray into providing key measures of the widget economy as a public service. We'll be tinkering with more metrics as time goes on.

This is the one to watch. It's how happy and productive the good folks at Widgetbox are. You may not be familiar with the unit gHu. It stands for George Happiness Units, and is correlated to the amount of caffe latte in the bloodstream of our designer extraordinare, George.
