Posted by Michael Larabel on June 04, 2008

Last June we told you Google would be porting applications to Linux and since then they had released Google Desktop for Linux as well as an updated Picasa and other software. Today Google is now announcing that they have brought Google Gadgets to Linux. Google Gadgets are little widgets on the desktop that are scripted in HTML and JavaScript and part of the Google Desktop suite. The Linux announcement can be read on their Google OSS blog and more information on Google Gadgets is available from Google Code.
