Price of Gas Widget

A new widget from GAS-COST.NET provides a summary of the average nationwide price of gas in real time.

Especially empowering widget for all those whiners in America commenting bitching about the price of gas right now.

What GAS-COST.NET needs to do is provide an API, then someone can build a tool to monitor and push out Twitter updates to all of us when the price changes.

It would actually be cool to see the geo location of the highest and lowest prices. Not sure if that kind of data is available though. Just a thought.

3jam “Text Me” Widget

3jam recently released a new widget which lets your web visitors send you a mobile text message without revealing your phone number. You can also reply to the original text message and the conversation continues as long as you want.

The widget is receiving lots of interest from MySpace and other social network users.

A pretty cool service.
