Widgets

There is this commentary on the state of widgets. One comment that I found interesting is “This isn’t how Dashboard was intended to be used.”. Probably not, but in a way, it was foreseeable. Like television, which had lofty initial intent, and has fallen a bit short of the mark though use.
One thing to keep in mind is the top 50 demonstrates one common trait: people like diversions, and also demonstrates people have different tastes when it comes to what makes a diversion (not that we needed any more evidence of this).
The dashboard is an extension of a desktop, and people put little toys on their desktops.
