What are widgets?

Widget is a derivative of Web2.0 and looks like a small application. It can be a clock, diary, video, weather forecast, Flash game and so on. In the past, widgets could only be added to web pages through their own embedded code. Now, these gadgets can be directly added to your own computer desktop for use, thus increasing the functions of the desktop. Many websites now have their own plugins. You can get the embedded code of widgets directly from these websites, and then add it directly to your desktop or blog.
