Google Sightseeing Widget

This came as a complete surprise to us, but apparently some widget-developers called Colorworks have built Google Sightseeing its very own widget! If you’re running Tiger on your Mac then give it a whirl – it can display either the 20 latest posts or comments (although you could of course have one widget for each if you like).

Loads of thanks to the guys at Colorworks – we love it! :-D

    No problem. I love your website so it was a pleasure, if you add or change any feeds let me know and I will update the widget.

    Ahh, finally, something that only we Mac users can appreciate. It hasn’t been like this since EV Nova 1.0.7 when it was modified for Windows.

    Or am I wrong and you get Dashboard on Windows…?

    Tim I think your right! for the moment at least, I am working on making Konfabulator widgets for PC but its no where near as good a function on PC as it is on Mac so i’m in no rush to make them.

    Glad you like the widget!
