Interested in creating cool Dashboard Widgets? AIM Fight is a technology demonstration that shows you how to implement a complex algorithm to see how popular you are in the AIM network.

Here's the description from the AIM Fight developer's site:

Using a complicated algorithm, AIM® Fight crawls through the depths of the Internet to answer the all-important question that plagues us all: How popular am I right this second?

Check out the work being done at AOL's Developer Network (http://dev.aol.com/). The technology behind the new AIM Fight widget is covered thoroughly and the developer provides the sample code. If you have no idea what's behind JSON, Prototype JavaScript Library and Script.aculo.us you can just download the new widget.

Additional AOL Widgets:
AOL Music Video Dashboard Widget
AOL Top 100 Videos Widget (Adobe AIR application)

Happy Thanksgiving!
