The three Dashboard widgets topping the list DashboardWidgets at the end of the day on Monday were:
° SimpsonBot (shown) displays a random quote from The Simpsons.
° Krispy Kreme finds the nearest Krispy Kreme franchise by ZIP code.
° Tabit! searches for for guitar tab or chords online via a Mac OS X-like search box. You can search by song title or band name.
DashboardWidgets is a Web site devoted to a complete overview of the Dashboard technology in Mac OS X 10.4 (“Tiger”) and widgets that are released daily. Dashboard is a semi-transparent layer of Tiger that zooms across your Desktop with a single button click, similar to the way Exposé works. Dashboard is home to a new kind of application called Widgets, which are mini-applications written in JavaScript and “designed for fun as well as function.”
