October 20th, 2008 Colchester, VT:  Widgets have arrived for MyWebGrocer’s 90+ retail customers.  This money saving widget is designed to highlight items on sale for customers of our retail grocery partners.  Users can download it for their Blogger, TypePad, Pageflakes, Netvibes, Freewebs and iGoogle pages using Widgetbox.  Shoprite is the first retail grocer to launch this widget.

Curt Alpeter, Senior VP of Sales for MyWebGrocer comments, “New and creative internet tools are emerging at a very fast rate. Some, but not all, have very strong applicability to the retail grocery space. Widgets are clearly one of those tools that will benefit both the retailer and their consumers. The use of widgets has exploded over the past year and they have already proven themselves to be valuable for online consumers. I am very excited about the first of what will be numerous widgets to come.”
