I’ve just created a latest posts widget (AKA blidget) for this blog over at widgetbox. I like the idea of putting a Latest Posts widget for one blog on another.
It raises the possibility of a dynamic blogroll - instead of a static link list of “my favourite blogs” it could be “What’s new on my favourite blogs”. I’ve put an example together at http://facibus.com/widgetbox.html - very rough it is too. Imagine rather than just a few of my blogs it was your full blogroll, or the last ten postings of your technorati favourites list, or random blogs on a certain topic. It starts to get towards a solution to the problem I posed at the end of my posting on the information architecture blogosphere - something that takes the technorati top 100 blogs in a given tag domain and presents some additional information on them.
I’m not sure that this counts as linkfarming - widgetbox doesn’t present the posting links in spider-readable form - although I am happy to take advice on this.
