The Internet Made Simple

Recently, I have noticed that things which were previously available to developers of web sites, are now commonly given away as embeddable widgets which one may use on most sites. Tweeter takes these, as you can see, WordPress also does, as does Facebook. Surprisingly though, I have noticed that the social site with the most available widget options and the most granular control for them seems to be Linkedin. The site is displaying many widgets, some easier, some more difficult for the novice Cloud computing / Social media user.
This does show how far we have come as far as I.T. Web sites are willing to give away space for free and work on bettering themselves against their competition for a piece of your information. There is a lot of money to be made from statistics and marketing when it comes to one’s information. Clearly, Linkedin has noticed this and is taking advantage of as many cloud based widget enabled sites as possible.
