Google Gadgets are miniature objects made by Google users that offer cool and dynamic content that can be placed on any page on the web.
Gadgets might come in handy when you’re at work (to-do list, currency converter, calendar), at school (calculator, Wikipedia, translation tool), or just passing time (news, blogs, games). You can add gadgets you like to your Google personalized homepage and, if you have Google Desktop installed, you can also add gadgets to your computer’s desktop.
Here’s my favorite one:
Bejeweled!
The Google Gadgets used to be only available with Google Page Creator but they’ve just opened it up for everyone.
What more is that you can create your own Gadgets too!
that’s cool. but i also prefer the Yahoo Widgets. i’ve been using it even when it was still known as Konfabulator, before Yahoo bought the company.
