widgetbox

There are many great tools to use which are all made possible thanks to web 2.0. Research areas have skyrocketed tremendously due to the growth of the internet. As i was looking upon widgetbox.com I was able to stumble across a political "video search widget." This widget was specifically designed for a user to be able to search for key words and tags in political videos. Whether you are looking for Obama's speech on the economy or political discussion about the health of the environment this widget is there to help you.
The "Video Search Widget" was created by News Distribution Network (NDN). They included a number of patent search methods such as voice recognition technology which allows users to search within videos to find keywords, people and issues.
This widget is composed of the largest collection of professionally syndicated video. It is a great source for those interested in politics to browse the web for news in the form of video. Video in itself offers a distinctive medium of news unlike radio. With video there is a visual aspect that helps a politician connect emotionally with his or her viewers. Transmitting a message is all about timing and appearance. Through the NDN widget I was able to view the most recent news on a personal level.
The idea of a widget is nothing new to the technological world. In fact it has been around for quite some time. For one reason or another I have never come across personally using a widget for informational use. Coming across a widget such as the News Distribution network political video widget is a steal! I will definitely add this widget to my blog so that readers can use it to keep up with the latest political news around the world.
News is constantly changing; Political news is frequently being refreshed. With the help of a widget such as this one a research truly the latest news while being able to put this source on an accessible place. A widget can be added to not only a blog, but to a web site or any medium which allows add-ons.
This widget is also great because it is like a You-Tube but only for political videos. Being able to search for key words is also an added bonus. For example if I was search for news on global warming and type that into the “search” field I would receive a whole range of videos from senators viewpoints on the issue to the president acknowledging the issues at hand and the possibilities that society can unfold. You would also find national organizations and a whole list of perspectives regarding the issue.
I am so excited to add this to my blog and hopefully my readers will use it to discusses further detail as to the material discussed in my blog. If you need political news and you like the streaming video this widget is for you. I would like to thank NDN for creating such a useful widget and I cannot wait to use it in the future.
