Take a look at Widgets— Part 2.

As we noted in "Take a Look at Widgets Part 1", widgets are really hot. But, I think they're more than just the next bright shiny object.  They let users build and control their own little information worlds. 

We all know that online users expect control as their right.  With this in mind, check out Reena Jadhav's article on Imediaconnection called Widgets and Toolbars: Personalize or Die   She talks about the focus on control causing the 'my generation' as in my favorites, my blogs, etc. New tools like widgets make that easy.
