We’ve seen a great response since we introduced blidgets. In just a few days more than a thousand bloggers have turned their blogs into widgets. Thousands of people have subscribed to these blidgets, installing them on their own blogs and web pages and MySpace profiles. The owners of these blidgets are tracking their spread across the internet with our free Widgetbox Syndication Metrics. We appreciate all the bloggers out there blidgetizing! We also appreciate the support from the industry. Om Malik was the first to create a blidget, and the reviews have been favorable. Alex Iskold posted a review in Read/Write Web:

Yet, what Widgetbox has done is important in the grand scheme of pushing the widgetization of the web forward. Widgetbox has started what we believe is going to become a trend - an end-to-end thinking about widgets.

And we couldn’t agree more with Alex on the following, since it’s central to our mission:

Once the process of creating and displaying the widgets is super easy, we will have succeeded in remixing the web at large.

Lawrence Coburn also posted a blidget review in Sexy Widget. We echo his sentiments that:

... the Blidget tool makes it easy to add an image to your widget, which can be helpful for branding or presentation purposes.

Blidgets are driving syndication for bloggers, but we also believe there are many promotional and marketing applications for blidgets and other personal expression widgets. What’s next on the radar for blidgets? We don’t want to say exactly, but we’ve got an aggressive roadmap. And we’ve been actively listening to the feedback and suggestions – hundreds in the last few days alone! Please let us know what you think. We almost always get back to you with a real live human response.
