Widgets Now Mainstream

WHILE DEBATE STILL rages about Flash as a truly accessible front end for web sites, the side discussion about Flash players and widgets has taken a different tack. I believe Flash players that make widgets work have become a new paradigm for content distribution and consumption. Every week brings another widget to the Six Apart content management servers. But beyond the servers, I believe people with broadband connections will drop Flash widgets on their desktops well before Windows Vista is firmly established in the workplace.
