"Radiohead is the poster child for web distribution and an autonomous strategy for controlling one's own destiny (while still making money) as an artist in this day and age.  So when we heard about th latest Radiohead \"In Rainbows\" widget, powered by Clearspring, we decided to check it out.  \nThe widget contains an entire menu of video and music content, along with tour dates, news articles, and a link to purchase the album.  We've seen a few companies launch similar music widgets for artists, with some variants such as maps for tour dates, etc.  \nThe Radiohead widget currently lacks interactivity for the end user, otherwise it would be a bit more like Splashcast's widget offering, which has also been taking advantage of the open platforms across networks like Facebook and MySpace.  \nBut given Clearspring's other efforts to move forward in the widget space, having launched an ad network and other tools for web publishers to extend widgetizing content offerings, what we're seeing is a standardization of widget features that are widely being adopted by musicians, combining viral sharing tools, self-promotion and easy access to content that can be monetized."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
