A widget (also called a gadget, module, application or plug-in) is a chunk of code installed on a Web page that introduces dynamic, interactive content with minimal programming.

These shareable tools have great distribution opportunities because users can grab them, add them to their own iGoogle pages and social networking profiles, and then pass them along to their friends.

Widgets can exist purely for fun or serve a useful purpose. Applications include maps, videos, games, calendars, countdowns, weather forecasts, tips, photos, coupons, and almost anything else you can think of.

The functionality of widgets can be customized to represent your company, and branded with your logo and colors. Check out Imre Communications' own 2008 How to Grow Google Gadget.
