Yes, I can read. However, what does the widget do? You just said "oh this is awesome!" and provided a link....but what does the company do that's so great?

It is very possible that it is not an item that would be of much use or interest in the type of complex and systems oriented work that you do, unless you are still doing some work for BRC particularly their blog. This is something more for the "computer-lite" crowd like me to dabble around with.

Currently it is the fashion, primary on blogs and myspace but also on web-pages, to add little graphic links to allow people to add an article to bookmaking or indexing sites (like digg, technorati, etc.) or just bookmark & index thing of interest for their own use. When this trend first started it meant that people who wanted to include them had to watch out for what was popular and then keep adding these little icons and associated code to each site/page.

This widget (& there are others of course, this one just struck me as clean and useful) bundles them all together in a neat useful icon of various sizes with a few lines of code suitable for insertion on whatever page you wish.

Obviously like the "free" Counters (such as "... )
