Just got a note in my mailbox that WidSets updated and added a bunch of things (link below).
On paper, it all looks promising. I’ve just updated everything, did a clean out of my old wids and popped in a few more, like the Manhattan Story Mashup wid.
Get the Story wid:
Let’s see how they’ve been growing. They’re young, but if they are on the right path, and if we are patient enough to give them the time, there is hope that they can kick some tusch.

The WidSets service was launched a little over 3 months ago, and now is time for the third release, meaning it’s time to reload your mobile client and make the most out of the new improved WidSets.
… After about 30 mins of playing with it:
Yeah, they’ve added some cool things since I last used WidSets: alerts, being able to send a wid to someone (that’s clever), some light management of wids from the phone, and a list of the last 10 wids added (under the system wid). Even the website has added some things, like better management of wids, more ways to create wids, and, of course, a ton more wids.
And I suggest you check out their clever main page (you need to logout). They’ve highlighted a few ways to use your wids depending on if you’re a social butterfly, a blogger, or a news junkie and such.
What I can say, is that there are so many small little things that WidSets has that one might not notice, but that the WidSets team has implemented in very mobile-savvy way. This is not ‘just’ a widget app. They also have quite a bit of clever infrastructure and usability around such an app.
Keep it up guys. You’re still in the right track. Don’t let up.
BTW, if anyone manages to build a wid using the dev kit they offer, please let me know.
What people said about us until mid-June
We launched the WidSets service very silently on June 6th, 2006, but quite quickly the blogosphere caught up and started writing about us. I’m trying to collect information about that here, but unfortunately I can’t cover everything (just too many
That is a Really Cool App!
