Here's the WidgetBox version of my blog. Link

WidgetBox (pointer thanks to Jeremiah Owyang via twitter) is a service which lets you create Flash-based widgets from blogs and other sources. It then lets you publish those to a variety of social networks. The publishing portion needs some work—they don't do a very good job of guiding you through the process. With Orkut, for instance, they simply provide a link and don't tell you what to do with it or where to put it. The widgets themselves are quite pretty (I've included the TechnoSocial widget below, in an odd bit of recursion). However, I wish people didn't use Flash when they don't have to, although it does seem to be the least common denominator for cross (social) network widgets.
