Single Bookmark Category List
February 7, 2007Azmeen created a widget to display just one of your bookmark categories at a time. This gives you more control over your bookmark listings. Here is the announcement.
Del.icio.us Tagometer
February 7, 2007Chris wants you to know about his Tagometer widget, an adaptation of the Del.icio.us Tagometer. This shows visitors how interesting you are according to Del.icio.us, a social bookmarking service.
Social Bookmarks
October 19, 2006From Joey:
The widget allows you to select a number of social bookmark sites which are displayed in the sidebar. This allows your readers to bookmark your blog or article, depending on the context, directly to the social bookmarking sites you have enabled.
Rate-In-Place
June 27, 2006Mike Smullin’s Rate-In-Place widget provides an interface for the blog admin to rate blogroll links right on the front page. This is a nice way to bring back this little-used WordPress feature.
Wholinked
June 14, 2006Who is linking to your blog? Knowing the answer can help you find out what people are saying about you. A new widget from Wholinked.com will display the latest incoming links on your blog's sidebar. It's simple and effective and because it's done in Javascript you don't have to worry about your server taking a performance hit.
Hosted OPML Blogroll
June 13, 2006Got OPML? Chip's new widget is ten times cooler than any OPML importer because it displays your blogroll from a hosted OPML file instead of requiring you to upload every little change to WordPress.
It's maybe a little too cool for school, however. A quick look at the code shows that the blog will download the OPML each time a page is loaded. While that keeps the list extremely fresh, it can slow page loads and overwork the server. Hopefully Chip will update this with some caching code!

RawSugar
May 3, 2006RawSugar, a blog search engine and directory site with a notion of semantics, has its own companion widget to tie your WordPress blog in to the service. It works much like the RSS widget, showing links to sites you have recently tagged as favorites on RawSugar.
claimID
April 14, 2006ClaimID is a service that lets you manage your online identity by claiming web resources that are definitely about you. Nutshell version: it's meant to prevent anyone from getting the wrong idea about you from googling your name. Their blog is powered by WordPress and they have created a widget for displaying your most recently claimed web resources.
