More Google widgets

Gmail Widget Google has added to the Google widget that got bundled with the 10.4.4 update. The new widgets are a blogging interface for Blogger, an inbox for your Gmail account, and a listing for your search history. They also have a page dedicated to Dashboard widgets.

I hope that this is another indicator that Google will be beefing up its Mac support. Google Desktop is actually a pretty neat piece of kit and I’d be interested to see how the Mac community would receive it, particularly as a competitor to Spotlight. There is a strongly vocal portion of the community that doesn’t like Apple’s metadata search and I wonder if a Mac Google Desktop would do exactly what they wanted.
