iGoogle Gadgets, Library Style

If you haven't explored the possibility of creating iGoogle Gadgets for your library (little widgety things that users can put on a customized iGoogle homepage), then check out iGoogle Gadgets @ Your Library, a presentation by Ed Metz that he so graciously shared with us via Slideshare.

Another alternative is Odysen at http://www.odysen.com.

One of the key differences being the free-formatting widgets, allowing you to make the widgets as big or small as you want, very helpful for widgets such as a nine day weather forecast, map, or YouTube video widgets.

Another difference is a much more space for the user, ie the large Google search bar at the top of an iGoogle page takes up almost 50% of your space.

Anyway, hope you can stop by and check out Odysen sometime. There's also a blog available for feature updates and page examples, located at http://odysen.blogspot.com.
