Yahoo! Widgets

http://widgets.yahoo.com

Has anyone installed the widget engine? Do you like it? What other widgets do you like?

It seems cool... but I can see how the novelty can wear off fast. I just want to know if it is useful and worth the install.

I like the widgets. I installed it when it was known as Konfabulator. The more widgets you add, the more it uses your CPU. I would recommend it. Some of the more widgets used by me:

Yahoo FareChase
StockTicker
Weather
RSS Readers
Traffic Cams
SurfCams
Maps/Dictionaries/Translators
