Widgets-
A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, commonly known as a web page. Embeddable chunks of code have existed since the start of the World Wide Web. A widget adds some content to that page that is not static. Generally widgets are third party originated, though they can be home made. Widgets are also known as modules, snippets, and plug-ins. Widgets often take the form of on-screen tools such as clocks, event countdowns, auction-tickers, stock market tickers, flight arrival information, daily weather, and more   Widgets can be added to blogs, profile pages, basically any web page that allows HTML coding. There are basically three different categories of widgets:  Virtual Pet Widgets,  Widget Games,  and Widget Tools.
