Now this is way, way, way cool! Sprout “is the quick and easy way for anyone to build, publish, and manage widgets, mini-sites, mashups, banners and more… Include video, audio, images and newsfeeds and choose from dozens of pre-built components and web services.” After about 15 minutes of playing around, I created a little twitter widget, added a lil’ music and embedded it to my blog here. It’s nothing fancy at the moment, but what’s especially cool about Sprout is I can log back in, make changes, save the update and it will automatically update the widget below with the changes. I did read on their website that starting sometime soon – in fact, they said mid-February – they will start requiring paid subscriptions for use.

Picture 21update 12/16/09: as you can see, sprout is no longer working…my stuff has vanished. I tried logging into my old account and I was redirected to a site requiring me to resubscribe—for a price ($19.99/month was the cheapest option).
