The National Geographic's The Daily Dozen

The National Geographic's NGM Widgets page features a small collection of cool downloadable widgets, that one can insert into their blog or website.

The above widget is called The Daily Dozen, in which National Geographic's Senior Editor Susan Welchman selects photographs for today's Daily Dozen.

The photos from which Welchman makes her selection, are submitted by interactive viewers who hope to have their images published on their web site.

And then, each morning, the embed widget features 12 of Welchman's favorite selections.

This form of interaction between the user and the site, allows for direct communication between both as well as a form of interactive user participation.
