Enterprise Widgets?

Widgets are making further entry into the enterprise. IBM is partnering with Google to allow integration of more than 4,000 Google Gadgets with WebSphere portals. It's the beginning of a trend (which I wrote about in the post, SOA for the masses) that marries consumer and enterprise content in composite application environments.

Enterprise content is also showing up on personalized home page. For example Etelos, an enterprise CRM provider, introduced CRMforGoogle, which integrates with Google Apps Premier Edition and Google's Personalized Homepage via widgets (gadgets, modules). Etelos also integrates with Netvibes, a personalized, widget-based portal.
