The Death of Widgets is Apparent

Written by Groucho on August 6, 2008 under News, Software

As far as widgets are concerned, you have to wonder how come their popularity has somewhat underachieved. From much sought after add-ons to make life easier for the frequent Internet addict, they are now somewhat put in the background thanks to the new RSS and Podcasts that the Internet offers. So with these alternatives, have widgets died now?

You don’t really need figures to acknowledge these claims. Widgets are dying of a natural death and technology has a part of it. From something that apparently was responsible for building them, we have other measures to consider which can apparently offer a wide area of options if configured properly and wisely. In short, though widget interface has been deemed ideal, perhaps improving the widget rant may be in order.

Surf on the web today and you don’t see much widgets offered like before. You can see RSS feeds, live feed or even videos that have attracted more attention. As a whole, widgets seems to be wandering off and are second rate alternatives for people who may not find these new innovations simple enough to understand.

Consider however the numbers as far as subscribers and users and they will tell you that widgets are yesterday’s news. The are no longer as appealing and one would wonder on up to when they will be around. One day you will just see these widgets passé. By that time, you may have something else to rely on. It is just a matter of time.
