Students: Get your gadget on
September 20, 2006
Posted by Samantha Crow, Product Marketing, Google Gadgets
When was the last time you tried to write HTML, build your resume and strut your stuff all at once? Well, now's your chance. We recently launched the
Google Gadget Awards
, a program designed to challenge U.S. college students to create clever Google Gadgets. It's easy for anyone with even a little bit of web design experience to create one. They can be fun (like one of my personal favorites, this
radio gadget
), useful (like this
to-do gadget
), or just really, really simple (like this
facts and trivia gadget
). And anyone can add the gadgets to their
Google personalized homepage
or to
Google Desktop
.
If you're not a university student in the U.S., you can still create
Google Gadgets
. Although they won't be entered in the Awards, if they're clever enough you just might find them on Google homepages around the world.
