Yahoo Widget Engine

Find Widgets with the Yahoo Widget Engine

First of all, what is a widget? Basically, a widget is a very small and well-designed computer program that is made for usually one purpose and one purpose only; such as telling the time, showing a calendar, displaying NFL football scores, etc.

Yahoo Widgets is a great way to find all the best widgets in one place. In order to get those widgets on your desktop, you'll need to download the Yahoo Widget Engine for Mac or Windows, and then you'll be ready to find and download all the Yahoo Widgets your heart desires. Here are a few that I especially enjoy:

• Daily Strips: "This Widget retrieves and views a number of cartoons available on the web."
• National Geographic Picture of the Day: "Displays the National Geographic Picture of the Day on your desktop."
• Flickr Joy: "Browse images from Flckr - just set a tag and enjoy!"
