We need a set of standards and then we need to make sure we all enforce and follow those standards. If widgetbox is taking a step towards that I applaud them.

I guess at some point you need to provide something useful, not just a new or pretty interface. Pinching is getting tiresome?

With WidgetBox a developer just needs to build his or her widget once and do very little else to get it to work on social networks, start pages, etc. and the iPhone. Of course "apps" built specifically for the iPhone work best on the device, but you've got to invest time in building something specific to it. "Blah blah blah, yes it doesn't take much time to build an iPhone specific app because I'm the messiah of web dev" LOL. iPhone apps don't make for the best start page widgets. You've got to make a trade off between something that might be very successful for one and only one platform (iPhone) or something that may be of middling quality but of greater reach.
