I guess I’m less jaded and sophisticated than most of the folks on Digg.com, because most of them seemed distinctly unimpressed by Widgetoko.com, which is a blog all about – blog widgets! Not me! I feel as excited about it as I used to feel about copying and pasting all the free javascripts available on the good, old javascript sites! I know all about restraint and moderation, having already gone through a phase of foolish design excess. I may just enjoy looking at the widgets and knowing that they exist. Out of the bunch, there just may be one or two that make it easy for me to do something that is cool and useful to me. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? My blog hasn’t validated as XMTML transitional ever since I added LibraryThing and Pandora blog widgets. Oh no! Anyway, some of these diggers remind me of the people who used to be the HTML purists and didn’t want anybody to have images or, even worse, Flash on their websites. Sorry, guys, I respect your technical expertise, but you’re just a wee bit dour and sour about it If I sin as badly as I did when I spent all my time downloading fun fonts that made my text impossible to read and that nobody else had installed on their PC, then I shall repent dearly. But I think I’ve become wiser since those reckless errors of my youth.
