Widgets, gadgets and applications are available by the thousands for your website, community profile and desktop. Amazon announced the release of 16 more, to be integrated on any site or profile page, to serve as an affiliate widget for their online store.

According to the company itself, Amazon Widgets are small, visually dynamic, easily configurable tools that allow you to feature products from Amazon on your Web site, blog or social-networking pages. If an Amazon Associate's widget leads to a sale, you get up to 10 percent in referral fees as reward.

Users can populate a widget with their own favorite Amazon products, comments about those products, and select from a set of color and layout themes to match both mood and site. Each widget has a different approach to push the products. Some look like a slideshow, some look like a cloud or cluster of product titles that are relevant to the content of the page, and so on.

In one week two major companies started offering publishers embeddable mini-applications like this, as Google also announced Google Gadget Ads. Gadget Ads are similar interactive widgets with rich-media capabilities, but advertisers get charged per impression or per click.
