Our mission is to create World's #1 resource for widgets and gadgets. We want to help you, creative people from all over the world, better understand, use and create widgets and gadgets.

Since this exciting software technology is accessible to anyone and not just programmers, we believe creative people from all over the world will soon be creating widgets to express themselves as never before.

Our site makes it easy for anyone to find the best widgets and gadgets across any platform. Developers can learn from our resourceful tutorials, code samples and reusable libraries, as well as share their experiences and learn from each other. We hope that developers who have leveraged our site will be able to expand on their knowledge and continue to build more complex, cutting edge widgets.

Widgipedia is brought to you by the same people behind Vendio Services, Inc., the recognized leader in sales management services for merchants that sell on eBay, Amazon, and Yahoo!. Vendio is used by tens of thousands of sellers to facilitate more than $50 million in merchandising sales each month.

After our startup in 1998, we helped pioneer one of the first comparison shopping search engines for auction sites, which soon became the destination for millions of buyers to browse hundreds of online auction sites across the Web.

With the advent of eBay, we soon expanded our focus from services that help auction buyers compare prices to fulfill an ever evolving need: tools and services for merchants to scale their growing businesses on eBay and other marketplaces, For over six years, we have worked closely with merchants to identify their needs and create services to help them manage everything from creating listings, to merchandising effectively, to fulfilling sales.

In 2005, we returned to our search engine roots by creating a buyer-facing tool called Dealio, a comparison shopping toolbar that helps shoppers find the lowest price for virtually any product sold online. The service was designed to help solve a common problem faced by millions of online shoppers: the inability to find products and compare prices online, so they always find the best deal.

In 2006, the idea of Widgipedia was born when a handful of our developers and producers began building widgets in their spare time. It wasn’t long before they noticed that most popular widget sites were dedicated to specific platforms only, often limiting the rich selection of available widgets across all platforms. This and a lack of collaborative resources to help developers increase their widget making knowledge led to the creation of Widgipedia as you know it today.
