"Widgetbox, a marketplace for web widgets that's appeared on Mashable in the past, is set to launch a metrics service today.  Widgetbox Syndication Metrics is basically a way to track the spread of your widgets on MySpace, hi5, Piczo, Xanga, blogs and elsewhere  - you could think of it as Feedburner for widgets.  \nThe metrics WidgetBox can track include the number of people using your widget, the number of hits your widget has received, the number of \"referrals\" (people who click the \"Get This Widget\" button underneath existing widgets),  and the number of conversions (people who click \"Get This Widget\" and then post the widget on their own sites).  You can also track your metrics over time and view graphs and pie charts.\nAs widgets for blogs and MySpace become more popular, it was inevitable that we'd need better ways to track them.  Our own service Mashable Labs already offers widget tracking on MySpace pages, while Clearspring plans to launch a widget tracking service soon.  Feedburner may also get into the widget game: they recently partnered with SpringWidgets, the widget service from Fox Interactive.  Widgets will be huge in 2007, and tracking will be essential - Widgetbox is smart to get into the game early."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
