Just like there are people that seems to love Toolbars and get enough of those, there are other who love to use sidebar for everything.  in this case a iGoogle Sidebar sound like a actually good reason to use one. if you have screen state (1400×900+) and you use Firefox as your Main Browser that is.

This is the iGoogle Gadget Sidebar and it comes as a extension for FireFox that will format your iGoogle Gadget into their small forms and in a single scrollable column in automatic form.

This results in a good way to be able to check your weather widget have your Google services at a very close reach without having to keep your iGoogle startpage in a tab all day. The iGoogle Gadget Sidebar works with most of iGoogle Gadgets and it is such a good idea that there should be a option for Iron and Chrome where it makes even more sense to offer it. would be great to have in IE8 for that matter, so if i see it elsewhere, i will post on it.

Firefox Flash Game Maximizer Addon Also Good for Flash Game Widgets

December 4th, 2008

Well.. not every flash game widgets. but it works with a lot of them.

One of the flaws in Flash that continue to this day, post Flash 10 is that it got a crappy Full Screen Transition or That it can Take lots and lots of resources. while this is a pain for Online Game Widgets (unless they are done in Silverlight). Game Widgets are mostly done in Flash and there are a lot of places where you can find them and most of the times they will lack a option to go Full Screen to begin with.

You can alleviate this niggle if you are a FireFox user with the Flash Game Maximizer Addon.

The Addon is still in a Experimental Status so you will need to log on into the Firefox Addon page to install it.
