Every Thirty Seconds Someone Opens a Clear Span Media Widget
Category: Widgets, Clear-Span-Media
How many breaths does a person take in thirty seconds? How many beats of a hummingbird’s wings occur in the same time frame? In half a minute how much information passes between two people that changes their day?
We know that on the average someone is using a Clear Span Media Widget every thirty seconds on any given day. From corporate sales metrics to trade show data to something as commonplace as the weather, Clear Span Media is exchanging data from one or more sources to a happy end-user.
In a growing market for Widgets, Clear Span Media is ubiquitous and a recognized leader. Why, even since you started reading this article someone just received something they were looking for… and CSM helped it happen.
Every thirty seconds people prove that Clear Span Media creations work and are used on a regular basis. There are many Widgets that receive a significant number of downloads. And CSM’s Widgets have their share of downloads, too. Nearly half a million, in fact.
But to be a part of the concerto of commerce… the ebb and flow of data streaming everywhere… to be relied upon to meet so many needs… and to do it so well! It is an awesome thing.
Sure, AT&T boasts that every 11 seconds someone comes back to them. We are just nineteen seconds behind them. And we don’t even have half their revenue!
So it’s been another thirty seconds or so… yeah, another person has opened one of our Widgets, but, how long will it take before they open one of yours? We are creating winning applications everyday and all day long people are using them.
Oh, and more than just connecting people with information… CSM Widgets are connecting people. Helping people communicate and relate with one another in realtime. For business this is a new day. For us its another thirty seconds.
So give Clear Span Media a call. You’ll be up and running in no time.

We at Clear Span Media are experiencing explosive growth in a new field for us. Actually this particular field is new for everybody. The really cool Widget.
Yes, the word widgets has always described a nifty little (Here’s another one of those words) gadget that was indescribably handy and coooool. You know the sort of thing that competed with Spacely Sprockets and nearly caused George Jetson to lose his job.
Well, George, the Widget is actually your friend.
Last year, about this time, a small group of highly talented and snazzily-dressed developers launched a platform for Windows that allows dispersing data in a practical format and places the gathered data on anyone’s desktop. And Sweet Potato Pie! The Widget was born!
Well, at first blush CSM was in love with this clever tool. And as true love stories go the Widget was in love with us, too.
Long story short(er), 12 months and over a quarter of a million downloads later Clear Span Media is riding a big wave of Wacky Widgetry©. Our public Widgets are all the rage with a loyal, and vocal, following from all over the world.
From the hallowed halls of knowledge to blue-chip corporations, individuals and groups have fallen in love with the Clear Span Media Widget.
And why not? You can have a Widget keep track of your Gmail, have another monitor auction items on eBay and if you simply must go out of doors at these gas prices let a different CSM widget check the lowest gas prices in your zip code area.
And this is just the beginning.
If there is data and you want it on someone’s desktop, the Widget is the way of today and tomorrow. Any company that wants to access databases and statistics for a client’s use or if you want to offer inventory that changes or is updated regularly the Widget is the best way.
Our custom work for clients involve very specific tasks. Automate a tedious or repetitive task, get a companion Widget to plug into your application. How about a miniature portal into some of your website statistics? Or a way for your clients to see the latest news happening at your company?
Pssht. Over here. A little closer. You have lovely eyes. But also, Widgets are more than just tools for getting mighty to mundane tasks completed.
Oh yes faithful reader, Clear Span Media is a wellllll rrrrrounded company. The CSM Widget Strategy takes our clients into things like viral marketing. When you can be in front of your target audience 24/7 with your best info what else are you going to call the Widget? It’s marketing, baby!
Yes, and even one more budget category we can draw from to bear out our pricing. Forget I said that. Forget it now.
Widgets – as a marketing tool – gets you the hottest real estate on the market… in people’s faces! But in such a nice way.
Truly, the Widget has barely begun its lifecycle and it is already showing so much promise.
To Arlo Rose and the other creators of Konfabulator and the Widget we at Clear Span Media give our thanks for two things.
First, they created the Widget.
And, two, they all went to work for Yahoo which bought the Konfabulator platform all for their widdle selves. Leaving us at the mighty – mighty top of a very long list of fine Widget developers.
And also a big thanks to Yahoo who has made the Konfabulator app free to the public for their happy use. And I must mention that Konfabulator is now officially Yahoo Widgets. (Legal stuff over)
So, Widgets anyone? We at Clear Span Media are up late at night – wide awake – making sure the world is a Widget-ery place for you and me.
Don’t let the potential of widgets pass by unnoticed in your realm. Contact us today and let us discuss with you a custom widget for your applications.
Ol’ George, no not that one, Jetson, he may have had a hard time with cogs, sprockets and widgets. But he never met our Widgets. They are too far ahead of his time. * wink *
So, no Jane – Jane there’s no stopping this crazy Widget thing.
