widget

This talk was given by Adam J. Sontag at the 2010 jQuery conference in Mountain View, California.

The Widget Factory is kind of a base class that powers all of jQuery UI.

Addthis.com provides a popular, free social networking "favorites" widget (you can see an example in the block to the right of this article.) It's a great, fast and easy way to allow people to favorite yoru content on Digg, Facebook, Twitter and so on. Unfortunately, YSlow doesn't like AddThis.
