Google prepares web gadget for iGoogle


The huge Web 2.0 Expo has just hit San Francisco this Tuesday, which will bring many exciting new web services to our digital life. One from many software developers, who specialized themselves in web service and applications, is certainly the giant web search engine: Google. To be exact the news came from iGoogle developer, the lead product manager Jessica Ewing has just announced the availability of special Google web code recipe for iGoogle.
Even though the code is first meant to be use in iGoogle, where it'll be available later as a left handed region in the iGoogle web page that let users navigate more quickly through list of gadgets. The aim is bigger than that, I'll quote on what Ewing has said: "For example, with the features, somebody using a Pac Man game gadget could both expand the game to full-screen size and, when not playing, use OpenSocial's notification abilities to hear when a friend beat the high score".
Sounds very interesting isn't it, and especially for those who love to do social networking. But we all must wait a bit more longer, since this technology is still being brewed in iGoogle developer team's kitchen before arrive at consumers plate. Hope they'll make it available for mobile-optimized web browser too.
