mEgo is a widget about yourself…so of course I liked it right away.

You create your own personalized widget at mego.com and then share it online at just about any social network site you want. mEgo calls it your “portable multimedia profile.” Even though the widget is still in beta, and I ran into a few minor glitches, meGo is still a TOTAL BLAST!

You get to choose all kinds of things to show about yourself, from animated pictures of yourself, your favorite feeds, all kinds of things about yourself, and even share notes inside the widget!

But the best part is that you can put your widget on just about any of the most popular social Web sites, from MySpace and Facebook to Blogger, TypePad, Xanga, etc., etc. Or you can copy/paste your code to any Web page you have access to.

Pros: very easy to use and lots of fun to use; rich use of multimedia; free
Cons: still in beta; may need to click several times to get a tool to work.
Coolness factor: 5/5

Engine required: your Web site on one of the popular social networks, or your own independent Web site.
Setup here: moxie.com
