Netvibes has been working on a way to give widget makers the ability to run their widgets on any widget platform, whether it's Vista, Mac Dashboard, Opera, iGoogle, or Windows Live. Now the fruit of their labor, the Universal Widget API (UWA), is in the wild, and it promises to increase exposure for widgeteers whose artful output was previously stunted because "it's not available for <x-widget-platform>.

There are about a thousand UWA-based widgets, and the number grows daily. Netvibes promises support for Yahoo Widgets in a forthcoming release, too.
