There are loads of sites on the net that offer badges and widgets. Some offer them for their own services and some offer aggregation of multiple services. I've placed a few that I use below - if nothing else it's handy as a reference point for me to easily find the scripts for my own widget codes.

Now that I am using Posterous, things are slightly limited and we have to go back to old skool methods of embeding widgets, either as images or using an iframe as Posterous does not support Javascript. Scroll down as this page may get longer and longer each time I find an interesting widget. View the source code to grab any iframe links.

You can use these in Posterous posts, but you can also design them into your Posterous advanced theme.

Update: You can use Dropbox to add iframe widgets you build to Posterous

 

As you can see from above, this is a tweetmeme widget that uses an iframe. This can be added manually to the Posterous post (if you feel your post is re-tweetable!) or you can design it into your custom theme and have it appear on all posts by using the Posterous code: {Permalink} as can be seen on my test Posterous.

 

This is a nice one by Feedburner that uses a rotating .gif
