Hello and welcome to my humble corner of the web. This is my first post - that’s probably obvious!
If you love iGoogle, Google Desktop and webpage gadgets then I hope you find something useful here. The popularity of ‘gadgets’ and ‘widgets’ as seen some great tools being developed, but also many poor and ill-considered ones, making it difficult to find the gems. I therefore launched this website to make my own gadgets available, and blog about the best and worst.
For the uninitiated, iGoogle is a great place to start using these tools. It extends your Google homepage, making it a great dashboard for all things webby. If you become hooked, then try Google Desktop too. I should note here that I have no affiliation to Google - it’s just my poison of choice.
A little about me: I’ll be honest, this is also a bit of an experiment for me, into the world of blogging and to get my programming feet wet again. I tend to do a jumble of all sorts in my job, but consider my profession to be web product design - an ‘interaction designer’. Hence I have an obsession with usability.
I see great potential in gadgets and widgets, but have seen many ugly, crappy, unusable ones. So thought it best to manager my anger productively… hence Gadget Badger was born.
Do you want to know how to get a FREE iPhone or Macbook Air?
