A little bit pregnant…
I enjoyed this post from Michael Arrington at TechCrunch.
Britannica has made free access to the full content of Britannica Online through Britannica WebShare available to registered bloggers and web publishers via widgets.
from the Britannica WebShare site…
Britannica Widgets are here, and with them you can instantly post an entire cluster of related Encyclopaedia Britannica articles on your blog or Web site. Just follow the instructions and copy and paste the several lines of code associated with each widget as html into the appropriate place on your site. Any readers who click on a link will get the entire Britannica article on the subject, even if access to the article normally requires a subscription. Really. Try it.
I’m heading over to register and try it out (check back in a couple of days - every registration request is being processed individually)
Also available from Britannica Online are a number of embeddable widgets (example below) with a promise of more to come.

This is very interesting and I am sure will be these widgets will become widely used. I also always meant to thank you for testing out my voicethread of ’sentence in a day’ as yours worked and you must have just come on, as I stopped moderating the comments. So thanks for that. Will try and find you on classroom20 as well as I have been a member there for a long time and have got so much out of its membership. I also love your header image!
