Ever since Apple did the dirty on Konfabulator (groovy desktop widgets if you're not familiar with it) the future has not looked that bright for the developers; until now ! Yahoo ! has purchased the company and they'll probably be used on more Windows desktops than they could ever hope for on the Mac.
Take a look at the widgets for yourself - there are over 600 of them so there should be something for everybody - and no doubt lots more to come via the Yahoo ! connection.
Let's just get this out of the way... Konfabulator is now free. Yup. If you download version 2.1 you know what you'll never ever see? That's right a registration reminder. Fear not, there's nothing sneaky in there, no spyware, no ads, nothing that's keeping track of information and sending it to us... it's pure, uncut Konfabulator goodness.

Another reason we're excited about it, is the very cool big picture. See, when we first thought of Konfabulator, one of the key pieces was accessing internet content. Well guess what Yahoo has boat-loads of? Yup. And what's really great is that they're starting to open it up to everyone in a format that's useable outside the traditional browser, as XML feeds. Guess how they're going to provide real-world examples of how to use this stuff. Yup... Konfabulator. So really, depending on how you look at it, we're taking over Yahoo! We're going to make it so the best way to access their data is via slick little Widgets.
