Why don't you people listen?

I'm not sure if it's my style or my attitude, but what I'm certain of is that there's usually a good point that I am making. So even if you hate me. Try to see the point I'm trying to make

Remember these words:

By the way, the issues don't stop at blogrush, other widgets like MyBlogLog, Amazon shopping/wish list, Facebook widgets, and many others all suffer from the same issues; here's a list of them:

1. Security
   These widgets have access to everything you run on your site, and every ONE who access it. They have the option to explode pop-ups in visitor's faces or redirect them to pornographic sites. This was the case with WebStats4U (read my article about them here)
2. Privacy
   Exposing your patterns, user patters and many other information. These widgest can, (and often will) story this information and be able to track the user across all the sites that have their widgets. Pretty scary if you ask me
3. Performance
   The performance is your whole site will be dependant on the performance of this widget, the page will not be done loading until the widget is done loading. A badly designed widget might take too long, and download too much to the user's widow that it might cause them to lose interest in your site and leave
4. Visual skinnability
   The way these widgets look is usually very hard to modify
5. Compatibility
   They don't work in all browsers
