We’ve seen some of our competitors pull the old “bait and switch” by launching competitive sites or even try to sell their customers’ traffic back to them! We understand how hard “widginomics” can be, but we think their approach is wrong, both ethically and as a business model. For now, here’s what I can say about our approach: JS-Kit is currently developing a number of novel services that can support ad, affiliate and, eventually, transactional revenue streams. That said, their value will obviously be a function of adoption and we all know that a service that can be installed in minutes can be uninstalled even faster. The real opportunity here is what we call the “Robin Hood” model: one that strengthens the market power of our users vis-à-vis the online “big boxes.” Doing this requires honesty, transparency and fairness. We will not attract customers with a “free” service only to make them pay down the road. Revenue streams will be clear and apparent up front. Most important, incentives must be shared and aligned, so you can expect to see shared incentives based on an “opt in” approach. We think that what Arno (#16) and others call “those widgets” have enormous potential to disrupt the business models of some of the dominant players on the web, but only if they are deployed in the right framework. Otherwise, they’ll remain novelties. You’re absolutely right, Pallet Jack.

It beats flash for browser compatability & it's neater & more powerful when intergrating with existing content. I personally think it's more useable thanks to creating native HTML, instead of whole new interfaces. The fact that some social networks block it, is an issue, but there's still a massive market where it can be used. Javascript is underated for hosted widgets.
