Build widgets that are vendor agnostic and can be embedded in any webpage or blog. It's not hard once you understand the basics of web 2 and some javascript. Here are the advantages of pure javascript widgets...
- Pure javascript widgets, no perl or php backends required.
- Use of free APIs from Google, Yahoo, Twitter etc. No need to pay for anything
- Place these widgets on any website or blog? Blogger, Wordpress etc.
- Make your website funky and sexy, and all for FREE
- Learn javascript
