Great Widgets to Try and How to find Widgets
1. Twitter Widget- Twitter allows you to essentially create your own widget that can stream in your profile page, your favorite tweets, twitter search, or a self-created list of tweets. You pick the size, colors, and other preferences and it kicks out the code you need.
2. Facebook Widget- Promote your Facebook Page on your site and even include a like button! This widget pulls in your Facebook Page updates in a box and allows site visitors to get a taste of the page and have the opportunity to "Like" it all in one place
3. Find Widgets- Widgipedia, Yahoo! Widgets, Google Gadgets, and Widgetbox are all great places to search, find, and even create your own widgets to fit your website's needs!
