Amnesty Generator is a free utility that converts any Google Gadget into a Dashboard widget. Google offers over a thousand Google Gadgets.
Using Google’s new Add to your webpage feature, select a webpage gadget, copy and paste its HTML code directly into the Amnesty Generator window, tweak some settings (if you wish) and generate a new widget with the click of a button. From there, you can install your new widgets into Apple’s Dashboard, Amnesty Widget Browser, or even convert them into a standalone OS X applications with Amnesty Singles.

Very Interesting.
<Groovy music ensues>
I love it. Its a peak into the future when everyone will “build” their own apps.
Oh no. Not more useless widgets. Pointless gimmick #2746.
Or maybe its a -peek- into the future.
How nicely do these run once converted? I worry that ineffciency in the conversion might cause slow running. (Or are these all simple JavaScript apps?)
Google gadgets are just JS/AJAX, so they should run in Dashboard as well as any other (true) widget.
So what’s the “gotta-have” Google Gadget?
