Widgizit.com is extremely close to launch. The site is painfully spartan for now. It really only does two things right now – lets users register and serves up widgets quickly. Getting the web site up and running was very rewarding from a learning perspective, but it took much more effort than I had originally planned for. The end result, however, includes a repeatable, automated build process. This should (ha) allow me to concentrate on building cool widgets and exploring some of the rapidly evolving platforms (Silverlight, Flex, JavaFX anyone?), which was the original plan all along.

Near-term next steps include descriptions/instructions for the two currently completed Amazon widgets and completing the publication of the widgets on Widgetbox. Then I will have finally released these things into the wild!
