Widgets and gadgets were something I wanted to try out for quite some time. Its only today that I got a chance. I run the latest Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop.
To my disappointment I found out that most of the widget platform providers dont support linux. The google gadgets and the yahoo widgets dont support linux.
Some forums talk about another service provider, but his domain is now parked, looks like he went bankrupt.
If anyone knows how to run google gadgets or yahoo widgets on linux, please comment.
