I don't really see your widget as a "rival" because I don't consider my site and sites like it a "competition." I also write for other sites like CreativeBits, Macworld and several others - all of which "compete" with my site. I do it because I enjoy it.

I'm disappointed in this widget because it simply adds no value. I can see headlines in dozens upon dozens of other widgets, readers and even on iGoogle page. The fact that you're just starting is no excuse for the lack of tips - you should have waited to release the widget until you had more then.

I don't think I'm being unfair. You have a 1.o product with little to no content. My review is a reflection of that.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by the "taken from other blogs" comment. I realize that your content (just like everyone elses) is usually taken from somewhere other than our own experience. We read other sites, mags, ect. and repost it. What I meant was that the tips in the widget from your site are so basic in nature that they're found EVERYWHERE.

If you're going to launch an app/widget like this, and you have little to no content, you should at least make the content you do have highly useful or entertaining.

You're welcome to your opinion but I think you're being unfair. Yes, the widget is simple and yes there are only 14 or so tips available at present. However, this blog is in its early days and there will be a new tip or tutorial every day.

What I do resent is you saying that our tips have been taken from other blogs. I can assure you that this is not true and would like to give you the opportunity to email me the urls of these locations so that I can check what you say. I think that this is a very unfair and ungenerous implication.

I'm not trying to make any money out of this, I just thought it would be a nice thing to do. Your comments leave me with a sour taste in my mouth.
