Work in progress: Reflections on reusable widgets

Just thinking out loud and sharing some ideas. The reason i'm doing so is to get feedback on twitter or through comments. I have no clue yet how powerfull existing widgets out there currently are so i'd like to get more insight from people who do. And i think the high level ideas from below widget definition speak more then words.

    IMHO, you can implement a widget realizing any reasonable functiolity you want if there is a datasource that can provide required data.

    - can you only host them on specific sites
