Widget Watch: Shiira mini browser
Today's widget is the Shiira mini browser, which is a web browser for Dashboard from the author of Shiira. It allows you to browse the web in a small window in your Dashboard, and supports GIF animation and Flash (no Quicktime yet). Also, it will import all of your Safari bookmarks with a single click, and jumping to the page you're viewing in a full sized browser is just as easy. Finally, choose your own background color (green vs. silver) and set a homepage.This is really pretty cool. It's small for serious browsing, but a good idea and a fun way to show off. Check it out.

Huh?
Um, I just click on the little compass icon to get this web browser called, "Safari".

i don't get it. what's the point? dashboard is kind of cool for some stuff, but why would you browse there? it just doesn't make any sense.

I can't wait for a dashboard widget of my desktop. Which then of course would have dashboard, and then I would load a desktop dashboard widget. Oh, dashboard is SO useful.
