It's in beta at the moment, I believe VZ will be making an announcement about it soon.  I don't know what I can say about it yet. =/

I went to click on the widget bazaar this morning, and it took awhile to come up, and I pressed the exit button while waiting, and then it was gone.  I can no longer access this.  anyone else?

I just accessed it out of vho4 for the first time today.  It looks like it did take 30sec or so to load.  I did exit out of it on accident too the first time but it came up when i tried to get back into it.  The service is still in beta at this time.  I was able to sign into facebook and use the twitter widget.

Hey matcarl, i sent you a message. 

To answer VPAC's original question it is something that you dont have to set up other then entering your zipcode when you use widgets for the first time.  I used it for the first time this morning and it looks as though you just hit wedgets and select widgets bazaar.

well, for some reason, the widget bazaar does not stay for me.

I noticed that they offer nerdbook, twitter, and kodak photo gallery.  The lone problem with kodak photo gallery is that they require you to spend at least $5/year on purchases (I know, not much, but still it's the principle).  oh yeah, and nobody uses kodak photo gallery.

We use Kodak and like it.  What do you mean "nobody uses Kodak photo gallery"?

If Verizon is adding Kodak as a widget and it allows me to see all of our photos on the TV... Terrific!!!

it's in 'trial' with certain locations.  Not all widgets in the bizarre is working and it is slow(perception vs wallclock) to load.  You don't have to do anything it just shows.  I don't think kodak is working just yet, at least on my system it isn't.  Twitter and facebook are somewhat working.
