Gadzooks I'm gaga over Google Gadgets

6 Years ago when I was working fevorishly at trying to keep a doorway page SEO business afloat, I started working with Excite's free content distribution network. They had some weather applets, a news feed with different categories, and some sort of search results gizmo. Their service didn't last long, but like some many early internet failures, it paved the way for RSS and IFRAME content. Recently I've heard some hype about an upstart search engine (maybe you've heard of it) distributing Google Gadgets so spammers (and myspace hacks) the world over can instantly load up useless pages with nifty content.
