There are two things that happen every once and a while around the WidgetNest “office” :

1) We ask ourselves how we can make more money

2) We come up with a cool idea that is in no way related to widgets, or, at times, the internet.

Just recently, we decided that maybe combining those two things would create something wonderful. We are now selling random items through Cafe Press. (We know Cafe Press it is not the best option, so we are open to other ideas) Our first product is a greeting card, perfect for Valentine’s day. Here is a preview image:

So, if you have ever wanted to show support for WidgetNest, now you can do so and get something in return. Amazing!

Dave will tell you that I like to look at stats. I like to look at stats so much he restricted my access to the widget stats! That’s all right though because I am much more productive when I don’t have access to lots of stats. Recently I was doing some research that I thought some of you might like to look at.

Blue - Web widget

Red- Blog widget

Green- Wordpress widget

Purple- Blogger widget

Wordpress has gotten a huge jump on the widget space right now as far as searches go but the others are gaining on them. Web widgets are a growing area as we find out daily here at Widget Nest.

Looks as though Widgetbox is hiring. As stated in a comment to a different post.

To your comment about job openings…Widgetbox IS GROWING! I know you
might not be looking, but I’ve got to throw out the shameless plug for
anyone that is. We’re always looking for bright, enthusiastic people
that will help grow our team and make our product even better. If
anyone is interested in a position with Widgetbox, send your resume to jobs@widgetbox.

Neat, I wish them luck in finding a good candidate. And if they are still looking next August, I might be more interested (and graduated).

I am always impressed with the excellent support we get from Widgetbox. From the very beginning, when I submitted our first widget to their service, they have been open and willing to help and give advice and suggestions.

Recently, Omar contacted me about a link issue in our RSS Scroller and Candidate Widgets. It was an easy fix but something that I hadn’t noticed before. They really are on the lookout for their users, its awesome.

If they had a job opening, and I was looking, Widgetbox seems like it would be a cool place to work. Thank you, team Widgetbox, for being so great.

By way of disclaimer, we are “Widgetbox Developers” and have a business agreement with them. That said, I really do mean everything I have told you about their service.
