Hi Joe,
iGoogle is probably not a good place to look because most gadgets there
use what has been branded the "legacy" API which is certainly not compatible
with the current gadget spec. The page Kevin linked to lists most of the
current OpenSocial containers, which should each have directories from which
you can pull apps for samples. Personally, I've found the PHP version of
Shindig to do an excellent job of rendering OpenSocial gadgets, but if
there's a specific rendering bug you're seeing, please file an issue or at
least provide specific details about the error so that someone on this list
will be able to offer better help.
Regards,
~Arne
