Google Gadget Awards 2006 Winners

Google Gadgets are a wide range of mini-applications, from simple HTML to complex applications that can be added to the Google Homepage or your own webpage. Google Gadget Awards 2006 were held a few months back to create an award winning Google Gadget.

A panel of Googlers picked the top gadgets that make the best use of the APIs, attract the most users, look the best, and are most creative.
