A widget platform which really simplifies the development, syndication and statistics of the widgets in question is yourminis.  They give you both a gallery of widgets to copy and paste onto your own web site, as well as, the tolls you will need to develop your own customized widgets.

If you need a widget to slap on your web site, this is the perfect place to start.  Just browse through the widgets they have and find the one that meets your needs.  For example, we have the clock widget.  To use it on your web site, click the “Copy Me” icon, then grab the embed code.  Copy the embed code into your clipboard and then post the embedded content on your own web site layout.

You can check out the full gallery of widgets here:
