Now someone needs to create a Software Update kinda thing to keep your widgets updated. Many come out as a 0.x version and have been updated a lot. Hard to keep up.

I see a lot more than just counter widgets. I see blogging widgets, FTP widgets, a terminal widget, games, iCal widgets, iTunes playing and lyrics hunting, etc.
