This widget seems to operate just fine, but does a "double load" thing when starting it up. Don't know what that's about. As for some contructive criticism, the widget's layout could be tightened up a bit. Keep in mind "proximity" and "placement" - the text lines seem to be a little unorganized to me. Maybe center them vertically with the alternating rows, and maybe they're a bit too close to the edge? Also, the graphics seem to be a little blurry - …it would look super awesome the edges were nice and crisp (including the text at the bottom).

1. Why is going to your own Web site to pull information a bad thing? Isn't that was RSS is all about - have you seen all the other RSS widget feeds? What, did you expect it to pull info from CNN.com or something? The widget is called "The Skinny" - after his Web page.

2. You're rating the widget, not his Web site (which totally off the wall - love More

Digg also happens to be my favorite social media tools. No shame in loving it.

I woudn't say that it is all that horrible. If you would like to design me an alternative I may consider switching. Thanks!

this widget is lame. goes to the author's own blog site (with a horrible design). "articles" are picked by the author. i'll stick with digg thank you.
