What are Google Gadgets?

You've probably heard about Google's search engine, but have you heard about Google Gadgets? At its simplest, Google Gadgets allow you to customize your Google homepage with fresh content from the content providers that you choose.

Hard to visualize right? Maybe, a step-by-step example will help you better.

Step 1. Visit iGoogle.

Here you should see some examples of Google Gadgets with live content. If you've already logged in to your Google Account, skip to Step 3. Otherwise, click on the "Sign In" link at the upper-right hand corner of the screen.

There are also Opera widgets...

Unlike Google desktop gadgets, Opera widgets are limited to the time that the browser is running, but like desktop gadgets, they float free of the browser window... their version of the Google toolbar is ALMOST up to snuff...
