It'd be very nice to be able to add widgets, yeah. The problem with  
that is that you have to design it very carefully, because allowing  
Flash and Javascript can lead to significant security holes, which  
would be Bad.

The solution's probably going to be to add specific widgets to a  
whitelist -- build a system of "approved"/safe widgets that we pre- 
screen and vet, let people configure them with their usernames/ 
userIDs/what-have-you, and add them that way.
