'Gadvert' is a gadget that thinks it's an advert, according to its US-based creators QuietAgent. It allows people to join its anonymous online headhunter service while remaining on the website of an advertising provider or partner.

Gadgets or widgets are increasingly used by website owners and typically offer a tool to host summarised and other content from another source. Gadvert, which looks like an online banner ad, claims to be an 'application' gadget that allows users to interact with QuietAgent's site in real-time.
