Gigya Reaches 120 Million Unique Widget Users

“Social networks, personalized homepages and search engines are becoming platforms for external content. Essentially they [are] becoming the way that consumers organize their Internet experience. All sites are making their content available for publishing elsewhere and widgets are a great way to package and keep control of the content published elsewhere.”
-Universal McCann February 2008 Trend Market report
