  • Publication number: 20090288021
    Abstract: A process is proposed that enables a widget vendor or aggregator to continuously present widgets via a widget network to a user who previously grabbed and embedded a first widget presented by the vendor or aggregator. The user may initiate the browsing of the widget network from a user placement where the first widget is embedded to choose and grab a second widget from the vendor. Here, the widgets in the widget network can be dynamically maintained and updated by the vendor and can be created at a time after the first widget was grabbed by the user. If the user grabs the first widget over the web and embeds the widget into his/her own placement, the user is presumably interested in the widget and it is likely that the user may also be interested in other widgets created by the same vendor or in the same category of interest.
