Definition

From the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_widget


"A Web Widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate html-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. They are akin to plugins or extensions in desktop applications. Other terms used to describe a Web Widget include Gadget, Badge, Module, Capsule, Snippet, Mini and Flake. Web Widgets often but not always use Adobe Flash or JavaScript programming languages." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_widget)
