“Widgets are killing the Webpage. It is time to go to something else. We are entering the widget economy. We are going there no matter what.” – Netvibes CEO Tariq Krim, Will Widgets Kill the Webpage?
Editors' Note:
Thanks for visiting! Unfortunately, Solution Watch has been inactive for more than a year now. I have no intention of taking the site down and hope to come back to it when the time becomes available. Until then, you can find me on Twitter or at Parallel, where I work. Thanks everyone for your patience and support!

That’s just silly to say.
Widgets are contricted to their size. Not everyone wants to do everything in small boxes. Personally I think anything that isn’t useful to the task at hand is superfluous.
For instance, on NetVibes, I just want to check my mail. While widgets are nice for an overview, everything else on the page is worthless to me at that point in time.
I can see widgets being very popular for “dashboard” ideas, like in OS X or Basecamp. But replacing web pages? I doubt it.
