Itsa me - WARIO! Adam Sah, architect of the Google Gadget platform, pointed me out to an awesome study while we were chillin' at AjaxWord. In this post, syndication guru Niall Kennedy provides a great overview of the state of the Google Gadget ecosystem. Here are some interesting tid-bits: Summary: * Google's gadget platform contains over 4000 submissions, creating specialized content options beyond a web feed remix. * Google's gadget directory contains six times as many entries as its nearest competitor. * The top 10 Google Gadgets account for 57% of its reported gadget views across the ecosystem. * Productivity tools are the most popular Google Gadgets category, in terms of both gadget count and gadget views.

I agree with you Hooman, there is TOO much to right about this space. Under appreciated I think are Vista and Apple desktop gadgets, especially the former.

I just finished a gadget (linked under my name) to update and check Twitter from google desktop, and its a breeze to push this over to to vista.

I definitely think that Vista and Apple Desktop Gadgets are going to be on the rise this year. Very cool work man. Thanks for letting me know…

What’s up with the UK crowd above. No one really cares about widget dev out there?

I don’t know. It kind of looks that way. Europe as a whole, however, is a hotbed of activity in the space.
