Gadgets are usually simple applications written in JavaScript that can be imported as windows. Their best feature is portability: they can be deployed through the Web in any container implementing the gadget specs. Another advantage is their simplicity of development. Google provides OpenSocial, which is an API for gadgets to interact with social network platforms. In this chapter, you will see different operations on Google Gadgets and details on how GateIn implements this specification.
