They provide an easy way to port the information to other platforms.  It is a small piece of dynamic content on a web site, blog, or social network page.  Widgets make possible for users to watch and share data on different platforms and applications, including web home pages like Netvibes, Google, Yahoo and many others. 

New mon.itor.us Public Widget allows anyone to publish customized monitoring metrics like website uptime and response time directly on personal sites. Mon.itor.us checks websites performance from the USA and two locations in Europe every 30 minutes. The collected statistics user can post into any web page and make it publicly available. For example, user may build a view selecting his personal site together with google.com.
