ESPN gets on the widget bandwagon
By Steve Outing on Jan 25, 2008 in Blogging, Media, Social networking
No sooner had I finished off a draft of my January Editor & Publisher Online column (probably to be published next week) on how news organizations must learn to share their content any- and everywhere, than did news of ESPN’s WidgetCenter arrive on my radar screen. (I think it launched last month, but I must’ve missed it then. I’ve added it in to the column.) It nicely confirms the wisdom of my advice in the column. 
Check this out. ESPN is now offering widgets that you can put on your blog, website, social network profile, or wherever. Here they are embedded in this blog item.

Steve - look forward to reading your article. Question: What does it take to build dem-dere-widgets? Is their a service out there currently that makes it easy?
Thanks!

I downloaded the NFL team widget and chose to download it to Vista but it does not work on my Windows Vista sidebar. What is wrong?? Any help would be huge!
