There is certainly a wide variance in Widget Engines. Some focus on monitoring local data (such as CPU usage), while others focus on monitoring remote data. Some focus offering GUI intensive applications (similar to Apple’s Desktop Accessories, circa 1984), others focus on smaller, information-specific tasks. Almost all have a community of users who contribute their own widgets.

It's worth trying out a spectrum and finding what fits.

At Serence, we've focused on monitoring remote data using very little screen real-estate. Small is beautiful, and we think people want a personal dashboard that does not take up much screen space, memory or CPU.
