Google Gadgets coming to Dashboard
November 28th 2007
News.com reports that Google is adding support for Google Gadgets, mini apps with dynamically generated content, in its Google Desktop for the Mac software. The company will release a new API that makes the added functionality possible tomorrow.
"For users, this means they can install hundreds of Google Gadgets with just one click and run them in Dashboard. They can also use Gadgets to enhance their personal Web sites by copying and pasting the HTML into the page's source code," Google says.
The API will allow developers to create widgets that run on both Macs and PCs.
Editor's note: Ubiquity is what they're after here and Mac is the ascendant platform. Logical really...
What's your take?
