Radiohead is the poster child for web distribution and an autonomous strategy for controlling one's own destiny (while still making money) as an artist in this day and age. So when we heard about th latest Radiohead "In Rainbows" widget, powered by Clearspring, we decided to check it out.
The widget contains an entire menu of video and music content, along with tour dates, news articles, and a link to purchase the album. We've seen a few companies launch similar music widgets for artists, with some variants such as maps for tour dates, etc.
The Radiohead widget currently lacks interactivity for the end user, otherwise it would be a bit more like Splashcast's widget offering, which has also been taking advantage of the open platforms across networks like Facebook and MySpace.
