Google News Widget

googlenewswidgetI just tried it out and it works great. Why wouldn't it? Adam has put together a slick little Google News 1.0 widget. The news widget allows you to tune your feeds from a few categories (sports, business, health, etc.) and search via Google News. Too bad I always disable my widgets on my iBook. Seems to work fine on a dual-G5 though... So why didn't Google do this already? Oh that's right, they got no love for Macs...

UPDATE: After running the widget for about 20 minutes it crashed. I sent in the report and reopened it. Well that was fun while it lasted.

Update: I think the error had something to do with Google's entertainment feed. The problem is gone since Google updated the feed, but I'll try to prevent such errors in the future.

Hi, I am Adam, the developer of this widget. Could you email the circumstances of the crash to adam@admanimal.com? I don't actually get the reports sent in from the crash detector thing.

Google seems to have released a Gmail notifier for OS X. I haven't tried it yet, but at least they're not ignoring the Mac COMPLETELY.
