Blogbox is a pretty cool idea. They offer a selection of free, open source mini-flash apps you can embed in your weblog. A photo box like the one to the top right on this site (though more fully featured), a link collection tool, a weather box, and a couple of others are available. I linked to them some time ago when they first produced soundblox, their mp3 player. It’s good to see their collection has grown nicely.

It would be exceptionally cool if they integrated support for things like sitebar (a link collection tool which I’m actually running here and gallery. Seems like it wouldn’t be too tough to do.

None of this stuff is likely to show up here in the short term, though it’s possible after the redesign I’ll have two versions of the weblog, one with and one without flash, using stuff like this.
