With so many half-baked widgets being developed these days, it's great to see examples of widgets done right. Behold, today's example:
Only thing I think is off-kilter here is the height and width - if you accept that most of your opportunities to use the sheeple to spread your shizzle come in the form of individual bloggers ... and if you do a quick survey of the average blog's page footrprint ... I think you'd agree with me that the large size version of the widget is way too big. And that the small version (above) is way too small. That being said, there's lots to love. Read more about Random House's widgetry here. Very nicely done. Mostly ;)
