What is this?

ezWidgets is a rapid plugin deployment service. In a nutshell we take your data source and spin it into every widget and plugin we can find. Netvibes plugins, google personal home page, remote javascript.

This saves you the time and hassle of figuring out all the api's, when all you really want is a quick and simple way to add custom data to a variety of locations. Putting the data where you need it is our goal.
