There’s a few widgets around that are helpful to hyperlocal widgets. Following on from a few tweets this afternoon, this post is an effort to put together a list of these in one place. This is just the start so please suggest more in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

Patient Opinion’s widget will show you what people are saying about services in your area. For example:
http://www.haltonlink.org.uk/opinions-from-people-in-halton
It doesn’t work in WordPress (uses an iframe). Anyone want to help us develop one?
Yes, of course, thanks James – link added. Thanks for the reminder to sort out a WordPress widget…!
Not sure if you’re including ones for blogger/blogspot but the OpenlyLocal google gadget can be installed on blogger or blogspot blogs (as well as iGoogle home page, of course):

Thanks Chris, I’ve added that and also the note about iGoogle!
