I was just introduced to a cool new add-in for Firefox, called GooglePedia. This cool little tool splits Google's search results screen into two windows, the left side containing your search results, the right side containing a Wikipedia screen containing your search string.
If you use Firefox, then take a look, very cool! If you don't, what's wrong? Download Firefox now and get on the bandwagon. The inline spell check of web forms (like blog posts) alone is worth it.
After I got my new PC, the first thing I wanted to do was replace some of the functionality of my dynamic desktop. Primarily this meant a useful Google Search box. My search found 3 gadgets already in play, but to my dismay, they all link to adwords sponsored websites.
So, using Darren's example, I found that gadgets are really just little tiny websites. Hmm, I can code websites. Even really tiny ones.
I would like to present, my basic Google Search Gadget. No encoded text, no adwords, no fancy graphics, or crazy cool search technology. It simply provides a form to start searchs.
