The widget database is a resource which contains most of the widgets that got ever released for the Spring engine. The database is stored online and can be accessed via an HTTP interface. There are many different clients available to access the database. These are the most common:
Web Interfaces
Major lobbies utilizing the widget database

If you want to see your widgets added to the widget DB, you can get an admin account for the database, which will enable you to add/edit/remove your widgets.
