google calendar gadget

Google is now supporting gadgets in Google Calendar (I think they have been doing this for a while). These gadgets  “are special events that appear as icons above a day’s events.” When the user click on the icon, Google Calendar will include the content that the developer of the gadget specified in a small window.

There are two formats that Google supports: the iCalendar Format and the Google Calendar data API. I personally prefer the iCal format because it’s more human-readable.

If you are in the mood of creating some Google Calendar Gadgets, check out the documentation on Google Code. :)
