Spend your summer with Google Desktop
June 28, 2006
Posted by Mendel Chuang, Product Marketing Manager
If you're a Google Desktop fan looking for something to do this summer, it's time to get your creative juices flowing and create a submission for the Google Desktop Gadget
Contest
. Winning a cool T-shirt almost goes without saying, but you could also win the top prize of $5,000. To help you along, there's the Google Desktop
Gadget Designer
, a WYSIWYG development environment.
And since Google Desktop 4 is now available in
traditional Chinese
,
simplified Chinese
,
Korean
,
Russian
,
Swedish
,
Finnish
,
Danish
,
Norwegian
,
Polish
,
Turkish
,
Hungarian
,
Czech
,
Slovenian
,
Greek
,
Slovak
,
Croatian
,
Catalan
, and
Bulgarian
, be sure to think globally as you design your gadget. And speaking of version 4, thanks to all the testers who gave us feedback, we're now able to bring the
English version
out of beta. So if you've been waiting to easily search and personalize your desktop, here's your chance.
Lastly, if you need some inspiration for the contest, check out
