Widgets are mini-applications that add interactive dimension to websites, blogs, mobile devices and computers. Widgets, also called gadgets, are non-intrusive, interactive applications that deliver up-to-date information and live data straight to the user.

Widgets offer convenience and ease-of-use. Users no longer have to search online or visit a particular website for information. Once the widget is downloaded or installed, the information is delivered to the computer desktop area, website or mobile device.

Some widgets provide news and weather alerts, while others offer a multi-media experience of non-stop fun. From games and puzzles to clocks and calendars, widgets are simple to use, customizable and convenient.
