This document defines widgets and discusses their uses. It explains that widgets are web-based applications that can be embedded on web pages, desktops, or operating systems. There are two main types - web widgets which run inside web pages, and desktop widgets which are mini-applications on the desktop. Widgets are used to distribute information, integrate and present data, and communicate with others. They allow content sharing and are relevant as they make content portable across different devices. The document also discusses how to measure a widget's success and provides best practices for using widgets.

Editor's Notes
- <number><number>
- The rise of widgets was caused by several factors including the adoption of RSS, the expansion of the blogosphere, growth of social networks, fashion of self-expression and the democratization of the web at large. Originally, the goal of widgets was to simply deliver a miniaturized version of a specific piece of content outside of the primary web site. A classic early widget is the Flickr badge, which allowed users to show a preview of their photos. Clicking on the badge would lead to the Flickr user's profile page with all the user's photos.<number>
