It’s 3AM, and this is the end of a very busy day, which is nearly the end of a very busy week that has not been unlike pretty much all of the weeks that have blurred together since the start of this year. At 12:01AM PDT, our team released Yahoo! Widgets 4, my first major product launch as a PM (this one was about 7 months in the making, as opposed to this one that took about 6 weeks). I also filed my first two patent applications today. 

My deepest thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. I’m too tired right now to go through everyone and their contributions, but it really was a team effort. It seems like the early reviewers like the new product (TechCrunch, Download Squad, Mashable, and Widgets Lab) and we’re getting a lot of good feedback from the fans in the forums. You can read more about what’s in the new release on the Yahoo! Widgets blog, and you can get the product (for Windows and Mac) here. I hope you’ll give it a try and let us know what you think.
