Widgets

I’m new to the widget world.  As part of my build-out of www.360degreevendor.com, I’ve been experimenting with the Clearspring widget set.  I’ve tested out both the LaunchPad options: In-Widget and On-Page methods.  The In-Widget seems to be a better fit for my site, as I have a number of areas within the home page that I’d like to share, such as the vendor search box.  Although I can see putting an On-Page button on the home page to allow people to share the entire site.

I floated a question about  Clearspring on the LinkedIn Q&A board, and received some good feedback.  The majority of the respondents recommended using WidgetBox, so I think I’ll do a trial with both and see which works out best.  I don’t think this is necessarily an either/or situation, so I might end up using both depending on their relative strengths.
