If you don't know what widgets are by now, where have you been? Widgets are the funnest way to express yourself on your blog, personal page, desktop and more. There are thousands of different widgets that are sure to match your interests, no matter how unique they are.

If you are a gamer, check out some of the real arcade game widgets so that you can quickly access your favorite games whenever you have the itch to play. Movie junkies will love movie widgets that alert you to upcoming movies and list the top movie rentals. Not all widgets are purely for fun though; some are extremely useful. For example, if you are always trying to think of something to make for dinner, try a dinner recipes widget. For those who are shopping for a new home, a mortgage calculator widget will make your life so much easier. The possibilities are endless and it all depends on your interests or needs.

I love finding fun widgets to add to my dashboard. Some of them are just for sheer entertainment, like my quotes of the day widget, and some are so helpful I don't know what I would do with out them, like my gas buddy widget that tells me the lowest gas prices around. One of my favorites showed up on our top searched widgets list. The Muxtape Playlist Widget lets me share all my top songs with friends by posting it on my personal page.

There are so many widgets out there and so little time to explore them all. Check out our top searched list of widgets to see which ones AOL Search users like using. The CNN.com widget is great for everyone because it's news feed automatically updates with CNN's breaking news. One that I found really interesting for expectant mothers was the Baby Countdown Pregnancy Ticker Widget. The widget tracks your pregnancy with a visual baby ticker that grows and changes to match your own.

Widgets are so useful that we, of course, have an AOL Hot Searches widget (seen above). It keeps you up to date on the day's hottest search terms so you never miss out on the best news and gossip. Click "copy me" on the widget above to get your own version. What widgets do you adore? Let us know! Search for more widgets on AOL Search and check out Switched.
