I'm wondering about the same thing... Most likely they would discontinue the Google Gagdet Editor... and the Google Gadget API. Open Social is an open source project so in theory you coul just set a server up to host your own gadget. It's just makes it much more challenging.
I also really disagree with Google. Gagdets are really different that apps from Chrome or the Play Store or Google+ because they can live on any website. If anything, Play Store and Chrome store should be one and the same thing. Google Gadgets would be great for Google+ A while back it was said that OpenSocial had nothing social about it... that it should be called OpenGagdet. This was untrue but it begs to wonder how to define a social experience... There is many ways to be social: - social media producing: allowing anyone to create content - social media distribution: allowing anyone to share, comment, or distribute content -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
