Jon, yes, a lot of the widgets are things that individual users create to fill their own needs, and what may be useful for one person could be useless for others. But it is cool to see the growing movement towards people creating their own tools to deal with specific needs. This seems to be the strength of Konfabulator. It offers an easy way to create your own tools, customized to work the way you want them to work.

I think a lot of the widgets are lame. For instance, NetNewsWire does great with RSS. I don't need any fancy graphical RSS junk for just one site.


Oh, and there needs to be a free program to run the widgets or it will be just a bunch of inbred pixel pushers who haven't been cool since the 80's using it.
