Blidgets allow users to turn their blog or RSS feed into a customizable widget.
Many bloggers like to show support for the other blogs they read, and like to provide their readers with related articles they might like. Everyone who goes to their blog is instantly given a sneak peak into yours.
Some of our Blidgets quickly gain hundreds of subscribers — that is, hundreds of people put your Blidget on their site, providing their readers exposure to your content.
Every Blidget comes with a metrics dashboard to track your Blidget’s spread across the internet, see how many people are looking at it, and discern lots of other patterns.
