The Battle of the Widgets

As Yahoo! upgraded their new baby, Yahoo! widgets from Konfabulator. It's only a matter of time before the two other companies who are also offering widget-like applications to do the same. Microsoft has it's own Gadgets which can be used in conjuction with it's Live.com website. The only problem with Gadgets is that, you can only use it online. Then there's Google's Desktop. It's an applet that has some other applets run within it. Yeah it can run offline and it indexes your hard drive's content but it's so simple looking and hugs some noticeable resources (although not that much). The reason why I'm more bent to like Yahoo! widgets is that, it's very pleasing to the eye and makes my desktop look cool. It also can work offline. Did I say it's cool? Anyways, to each his own and why not just try it all, they're all FREE anyway!
