As a professional blogger and entrepreneur, I face the quality v success challenge every day. There are thousands of blogs in dozens of niches that are doing spectacularly well by following the PageViews = Money formula and are quite successful ventures for their owners, although at their core the product is decidedly third-rate. Reading these blogs angers me because I expect better from the top bloggers, but at the same time there's an admiration for their unwavering commitment to doing what works and continued amazement at how we overestimate the intelligence of our readers (selfishly, I might add).

The word widget is now popular than ever before as developers and social networks are pushing out countless free to use widgets. You may disagree but Facebook may have started the widget revolution, and since then Google's OpenSocial is playing catchup to dismantle Facebook as the sole source for fun widgets.
