Widgets+in+your+Wiki

What are they? [|Widgets] allow blog users, for instance, to embed the functionality of other services onto their webpages and thereby, promoting the services that contribute to their own personal learning - in other words, creating a "mashup" of services that they find useful in their own work. Many bloggers learn about these services from their own [|personal learning networks]. That is, other bloggers who have found out about and are using these services. For instance, on a blog, you may find a widget that allows you to view a slideshow created in [|Bubbleshare,] a listing of the books you've read that are catalogued in [|Library Thing], a [|Clustrmap] showing the locations of people who have read the blog, or an audioplayer that will allow users to hear a particular podcast.

 * Widgets are small apps that can be embedded on a page such as RSS feeds, audio players, video players, and others. It is something that the user can interact with when on a particular webpage.
