TypePad launches blog widgets

by Jordan Running on March 30, 2006 at 12:35 PM

Today Six Apart launched the TypePad Widget Gallery, which is full of "blog widgets," or little modules you can add to your TypePad blog's sidebar that do things like display your Pandora stations, Squidoo lenses, or Rollyo searches. Until now, customizations like this for TypePad were only possible by hand-editing HTML templates, but widgets can be quickly installed with a few clicks. The gallery isn't terribly robust just yet, but according to TechCrunch's Ouriel Ohayon Six Apart is planning on opening up their API to third-party developers. As Ohayon points out, this launch comes very shortly after the WordPress team announced WordPress Widgets for Six Apart's primary free competitor.

Neutral

Allow me to demonstrate my utter ignorance by saying: "Squidoo? The HELL?"

Is it just me, or are some of these "Web 2.0" sites sporting absolutely stupid monikers?
