It's actually rather funny that this site already hit Digg front page through the author/webmaster of the same site giving a step-through guide to how he made this website within a certain amount of hours.
You've been able to make widgets for your dashboard in Mac OSX/Safari, but this makes a HTML widget to use across everything that uses HTML tags or embed it in your webpage. Big difference.
Where "Widgetize" == Hotlink This is just as bad as some asshat hotlinking to images on your website and stealing your bandwidth. Of course the usual mechanism for deterring hotlinkers is goatse.

Service is okay. I've used Clearspring <a class="user" href="http://www.clearspring.com/">http://www.clearspring.com/</a> for a while now and its a lot better.
