Apparently, we’ve been been selected as a finalist in the ‘Browsing‘ category for this year’s Webware 100 awards. Don’t believe us? Here’s proof:
While we’re flattered, we’re also a bit confused as to how we got placed in the same category as some great apps like Bloglines, Greasemonkey, and Firefox. How to cast your vote with a field of … let’s say… eclectic contenders? Perhaps by using the time-honored tradition of Picking The Candidate One Would Most Like To Have A Drink With.
- IE7’s out… he’s a teetotaller.
- Firefox? You know he’s more of a smoker than a drinker.
- Netvibes may be chill to hang with, but it’s a little too easy to harsh his mellow.
- Pageflakes is up for an evening out, if he shows.
- Yahoo! Pipes is using those pipes for more than just connecting data sources.
- Greasemonkey is fun, until later in the evening when “stuff” starts being thrown about.
Now, Yahoo! Widgets… there’s a technology that loves tossing back a good pint or two (or three), and maybe a bit of tequila now and again.
Oh, we kid! We kid because we love. All of these are great products, and we’re honored to share their company as finalists. Go check it out before June 11, and vote for us if you feel like it.


When will I be able to embed Widgets into MyYahoo! and my Yahoo!360 pages?
C’mon, guys - Microsoft and Google offer this already, and they didn’t buy a ready-made platform and being a portal isn’t their self-proclaimed business model.
Get with the program, please…
You got my vote =0)
I’m so disappointed! The new Widget addition to our desktops looks like so much fun and convenient too.
I cannot join the others with this, because I don’t have the Windows specified program. I have Windows 98.
You cannot add Windows 98 to your included specifics? Please?
Gentlemen: I tried Widgets and now I have huge black words on my desktop spelling Widgets and can’t get rid of it. Can you help? I have tried to discontinue Widgets but it is still there. Thank you.
Which are the top favourite yahoo widgets?
Yep, I’m looking for the same thing too. A very much needed function around here.
@Tips & Dojo: We feel your pain. Top rated Widgets (and a whole lot more) will be coming soon…
