[edit] The Widget

Podcast started this summer. Probably vanity--Shanel 03:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Its Novel, let them have it. Mike 06:54, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It's an awsome podcast and those interested should be given a way to gather information on it so they can know more about it. Keep it, please think of the children!-Katong Katong

I say that given the amount of people affected by it, and the absence of anything else with this title, it should be kept. It's sure to be editied more in the future.--John

There are other podcasts on the Wikipedia, and The Widgets rating broke the top 100 on iTunes a few weeks ago. I say keep it. -Shawn

Thats right, they were #46. TWiT has an entry, and there are no conflicting entries for this. Let them have it. - Ken

I am not involved with The Widget, I am not trying to promote the show or any of the people in it, I am merely telling people that want to know about The Widget. The Widget is a podcast that brings it's material to a broad range of listeners and thrives off telling the news of Technology in a way that is somewhat different that the convential.--Scoopula 01:04, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

for the pure fact that the widget is quite well known, i think it should stay. It's meaningless, but so it the game and petals aroudn the rose. Slimy earthworm 19:00, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Why would you delete it? Its not doing anything bad to anyone, and its just a nice thing so some people can have their fun! I mean, there are over 1000 listeners, so it has a big enough fan base. Whats wrong with keeping it? BTW, I am not involved with the creation of The Widget etc, I am just a fan who has listened to every episode and thinks it is one of the best Podcasts out there! BTW, I was mentioned at the end of Episode 6, the email about why a Pirate would own a Ninja. :-) Dshban 8:29pm, 10th October 2005 (Eastern Australia Standard Time, whatever that is)

First, to all you sockpuppets out there, you should know that that votes from users who have little or nothing besides their vote carry no weight here. Wikipedia has been dealing with this ploy for years. --A D Monroe III 01:08, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Spam. No claim to notability. Unverifiable. --A D Monroe III 01:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

The Widget Show is a great addition to the ever growing podcast nation. Tim Ryan and Zane are great to listen to and have lots if usefull information mixed with good comedy. I have tried to listen to many other podcasts dealing with tech and similar topics and the widget is one of the best out today. Keep this podcast up and running and tell your friends and others to tune in. Go and check out the show instead of complaining about it's entry. LordStandley // 2005

This needs to be kept to help expand our knowledge of what else is out there in the world around us. You may hear a reference to the widget as you pass by two people having a conversation about the show and by using this wonderful site you can look it up to see what they are talking about. Twit has one...why not The Widget Show?--eventHorizon 12:06, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
