Fresh from the Nestoria presses: The Nestoria Yahoo! Widget
Those of you who know what this is can go here right away and get searching!
For everyone left wondering "what on earth is a widget, and a Yahoo! one at that", read on…
/wijit/
noun informal a small gadget or mechanical device.
- The Oxford English Dictionary
Whilst the above may be the official meaning of 'widget', it isn't really applicable in this particular case. A widget in the computing world has come to represent a small interface to a service - and they tend to run in their own special environments - in this case, Yahoo! Widgets.
You download the main Yahoo! Widgets program (from here) - follow the installation instructions. This will then place several attractive widgets on your desktop - such as a small clock and a small widget showing the weather. You can turn these off by right clicking on them and selecting the appropriate option.
Of course, what you're really interested in is the Nestoria widget - which you can download from here. Having installed the widget, it will be placed on your desktop along with the other Yahoo! Widgets, enabling easy access to Nestoria search facilities at all times. Perfect.
