Google Search Widgets

In my ongoing fantasy of buying a new Mac, I periodically visit the Apple site. Today I was checking out the widgets page and saw that the Google Maps Widget was the top download. That says two things to me:

  • Google Maps continues to gain attention and is growing in popularity (I keep getting messages from folks about new "mashups")
  • Google will probably answer Yahoo!'s Konfabulator (my new favorite toy) with its own PC Widgets

I already find myself using Yahoo! search more because of the widget's presence on my desktop. Oops. I just discovered Google search widgets already exist.
