Top 5 Google Gadget

by Noel on July 1st, 2008

I haven’t gone through the new Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) gadgets available but here’s my top 5 google gadgets that are installed on my desktop.

#1 Performance Meter

I love this gadget because I can visually see how much computer resources have already been used.  I used to fire up my task manager to see this but now, it right there on my sidebar.

#2 Net Meter

This I got to have because I sometimes download torrent files and I can see my overall download/upload speed.    Seeing 0% in the upload bar reminds me to fire up azureus vuze so it’ll share my download library and gain up some good share ratios.

#3 workspace Manager

Sometime I just need a new workspace to keep my screen tidy.   I guess the habit came from using Linux Gnome.

#4  Google Desktop News and Digg Top Stories

I always want to know what’s going on and what’s popular in Digg so this  google gadget is perfect.

#5 Google Desktop Email Gadget

This shows me new the subject and a 1 liner of incoming mails so I don’t need to login to my gmail account that often.

How about you?  What’s your top 5 Google Gadget
