Google Gadgets are mini-applications which can work with the Google homepage, Google Desktop, or any page on the web. These mini-applications can range from simple HTML to complex applications, and can be a calendar, a weather globe, a media player, or anything else you can dream up. There are two types of Google Gadgets, universal gadgets and desktop gadgets. The Universal Gadget works with the Google homepage, Google Desktop, or your own webpage, while the Desktop Gadget only works with Google Desktop. The gallery of 1,220 Google Gadgets has been made available to homepage users, such as financial information, sports news, communication tools, jokes, horoscopes, or geometric puzzle games. However, the applications are subject to limitations of the browser being used by the homepage owner. And the most important thing is that these “gadgets†do not work when the user is offline.
