There are so many kinds of widgets out there now that I can barely keep track. There are Yahoo Widgets (the widgets formerly known as Konfabulator), Apple’s Dashboard, Google Widgets and now Opera has them too. And of course, they’re all different.

My primary interest in widgets from a development perspective is that they can be a good way to help connect people with a web site.

Download Squad has published a tutorial on making Macintosh Dashboard RSS widgets using Apple’s Dashcode. Dashcode is available for free from Apple.

I haven’t tried it yet, but this will help me to remember it in the future.
