Toilet Widget
• Widget? A small piece of sotware dedicated to one specific
purpose (checking airline schedules, receiving news in real-
time…).
• Bloggers had the ability to embed the Internet toilets on their
own blog through a simple copy-paste of a HTML snippet.
• You were also able to implement this widget on your Facebook
profile or on your MySpace account.
