Is it just me or are there really very few Dashboard widgets available?

It seems that quite a number of Dashboard sites have been popping up recently since the announcement of Tiger, but almost all of them are showcasing the same stuff.



Or is everyone still clinging on to Konfabulator?

I think it's amazing that Tiger has only been publicly launched for 4 days, and there are already over 140 widgets available.

Since Tiger's launch the website has been getting hit incredibly hard, as you would imagine. These small dropouts should settle in a week or so when things settle down.

Alright, thanks for the clarification.

Hope to see more useful widgets coming soon... and to learn how to make my own widgets
