Driven to word-coining distraction by the new Blidgets

I just discovered "blidgets" today. They rock!

Blidget is a buzzword coined from "blog" plus "widget."

I found out about this on Widgetbox and created a few using my own blogs on Vox, the new Blogger and this one on Tribe.

Try it. There is a fairly visible button right on Widgetbox's front page (left side) to lead you through the process of making your own. I'm unsure as of yet how useful this is to me, but it's cool and new, which usually are the two things that really get me pretty techxited! Believe me, I am a litterer. I suspect I've created more than my virtual environmental footprint should allow of "blog debris," setting up blogs just so I can test out cool new tools.

Which makes me wonder - could we one day in the future be cited or penalized for "blittering" (littering the blogosphere with useless, unused blogs)? Hmmm, interesting concept. Will these offending blogs need to be "o-blitter-ated" by their owners?

I guess we will see as we continue riding the cyber highway into this new and enchanted age.

Anyway, there are a few handy-dandy ways to create your designerific blidgets. You can choose for them to display horizontally or vertically with differently colored backgrounds, and add an image. There is even a last option that will let you add it to your MySpace page.

So have fun, and give me some feedback to let me know what you think on this, and I'll get off my word-coining soapbox... that is until the next new thing causes me to jump right back on it.

NOTE: (If you click on "techxited" above, you will see that I even "Googlemarked" it - this is not affiliated with the well-known enterprise, Google, BTW)
