right to what you've been waiting for - the winners:
1st Place - diGGGadget by Marius

This useful gadget helps you stay on top of the latest stories from digg.com. Click on a few
buttons and you'll know why we think it's so great. It also takes advantage of our advanced
APIs to allow for sharing of news with friends and personalization based on your
interests.
2nd
Place - Multiplayer Reversi
Game by Turhan Aydin
- This visually rich gadget allows you to immerse yourself in the fun game of Reversi. Not
only can you play against the computer, but this gadget also takes advantage of our Google Talk API so that you can
also play with your friends.
3rd
Place - Day/Night World
Clock by Beatrix Gottanka - We couldn't have designed a better world clock. Not only
does it show you the local time, but there's also a map that changes with the night and day
(and lots of other options as
well).
There were so many good submissions that we had to recognize
some honorable mentions. Check out the Google
Desktop Blog to find out more. We hope you had as much fun learning to use the Google Desktop SDK as we did from
these creative entries.
