Forbes.com is jumping in on the open distribution craze that is sweeping online media with the launch of eight new widgets, or Web applications that allow users to post scaled-down versions of the site’s content on their personal Web sites, blogs and social networking profiles.The new Forbes.com widgets range from Breaking News to Technology to Lifestyle. Users can now visit Forbes.com/widgets and then populate their own sites with whatever Forbes content interest them. Several of the widgets, such as Stocks to Watch and Latest Video, refresh their content regularly using Forbes’ RSS feeds – potentially turning a static Web page into a continually updating news environment.http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/recent_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003610454
