What the poster means is that some users develop their OWN widgets and use the Clearspring platform to develop them, and some of the widgets are primarily developed by Clearspring (Such as the Cloverfield Widget)

As far as I know, this is a pay-for-play product, which means if you don’t subscribe to the service, comScore doesn’t track your widget. I think that’s why some of the widgets are missing from the list.

@ Rich Miller: There are a lot of sites out there paying more for content than they are taking in (look at Zillow and other real estate sites). It doesn’t mean they have any business model besides taking in VC money.

Some of these widgets must have business models, because they’re paying Akamai to provide content delivery services. Slide and RockYou are among Akamai’s fastest-growing customers:

Akamai’s not cheap, either. They say they’re now delivering more than 1 million requests per second for social media sites

Erick,

I dont think you can add PhotoBucket’s penetration to MySpace and use the sum to assume combined penetration. There’s a HUGE amount of overlap there, and my gut tells me that the combined total would be only slightly higher than MySpace’s stated penetration.
