The end user does not need to search for content or information. A web browser is NOT needed or used. The information or ‘content’ is PUSHED to a content area on the widget.  The USB Widget is DYNAMIC and DELIVERS the information automatically via the Internet. An optional MAC version will not autorun and must be launched by the end user. There is an additional cost for creating MAC widgets.

The USB Widget can be custom designed, any shape or size with 1-5 feeds and unlimited links. They Feeds are Dynamic (updated) and the links open new browser windows.
