On my site, I have widgets that feed the last 4 posts from this wordpress blog, and my twitter feed.  I also have an ajax <del datetime=\"2009-07-17T13:18:27+00:00\">live<\/del> bing search box that will return results from my site, or the web in general.  Most recently, I setup my default page to show a random image from a set I have on flickr.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, over on linkedin, any blog posts that I tag &#8220;linkedin&#8221; show up.  And I have a google docs presentation integrated into my profile.  All of these integrations were free, and pretty easy to do.  Many of them involved copy and paste html.  A few involved calling api&#8217;s, but they were easy to use and well documented.  <\/p>\n<p>And I haven&#8217;t touched the tip of the iceberg.  Last.fm, Delicious, google calendar, and more all provide feeds and widgets that I&#8217;m not yet taking advantage of.  And there are creative ways to use these differently than intended.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to write a twitter widget, that doesn&#8217;t appear to be twitter.  Drop it on a client&#8217;s site, and they can add news blurbs via twitter or sms.  It&#8217;s a small piece of content management that couldn&#8217;t be easier to integrate.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something I&#8217;ve been increasingly fascinated with over the last year is the reuse of free internet services that I have.
