In past posts I've highlighted some of the terrific widgets appearing on The Discovery Channel that are powered by NewsGator.  These widgets have become quite successful in terms of views, click throughs and interactions primarily because they are highly interactive, colorful, rich in content and encourage users to share.

As of today there are two more excellent new widgets that have launched on their site.  One of them is the "Take Tech With You" widget (seen at right) which has three tabs for video, expert commentary, and blog content relating to technology.  It is also viral as you can "grab this widget" on the upper right corner and take it with you.  The other widget, "Take Space With You" is basically identical except that its content focuses specifically on astronomy/space.

Check out either or both of these two content-rich widgets and consider putting them up on your blog, Facebook, or any start page you might have.  Enjoy!
