I really wanted to make some kind of gizmo to display the JapanSoc RSS feed anywhere online, and was thrilled to find a website that made this process extremely easy. So easy in fact, even Michael McKinlay has done it! Thanks to WidgetBox.com, anyone with an RSS feed can make a “Blidget” in just a few minutes, and that’s what I did for JapanSoc.
What does it do and where does it go?
As you can see, there are two flavors. The orange one shows the main Top Stories feed, while the blue one is for Upcoming Stories on JapanSoc. You can embed these widgets pretty much anywhere, e.g. iGoogle, Facebook, MySpace, Wordpress, and Blogger. You can even customize their appearance somewhat before you embed them.

Search for more Japan widgets on WidgetBox
A quick search for Japan in the WidgetBox gallery shows some very interesting results. You can embed everything from Japan-based jobs to J-Pop, and even a widget from Jamaipanese! Very cool.
