Amnesty Generator has been around for a while, this looks handy either way. I use it to embed my private Google Calendar feed in an iframed widget on my dashboard.

Frank & Duncan, AmnestyWidgets is a division of Mesa Dynamics — we’re one and the same. Duncan, the beta version of Hypercube is simply a completely revamped version of our original product which you wrote up — we’re still here, and so is our technology.

Sorry for the confusion…

@Ummm – Google Desktop only works on iGoogle gadgets, not every other web widget out there and Leopard only “clips” live web pages — this runs web widgets directly from your local machine

Neat idea, I guess the big question here is how well it converts more complex gadgets/widgets to work on the desktop or web and vice versa. It is a pretty sweet deal for anyone building simple widgets though.

Google Desktop already takes iGoogle widgets and make them OSX Dashboard widgets, and OSX Leopard offers a way to do this automatically as well.

@V – Amnesty Hypercube is a desktop app, whereas Netvibes is a webtop. I believe Hypercube also has the ability to bring your Netvibes widgets into it so you can have them as “native” widgets on your desktop.

How is this better than (or different from) Netvibes Universal Widget API?

Then there are mobile widgets that work on any mobile device with a web browser

There are many of these kind of services/software. There is also another nice software called amnestywidgets.com which, if I am not mistaken, is the first web widget convertor of this kind.

IFocus is a software that clips any content you might want into your desktop (not only widgets)

Also seems to be a cool tool for widget providers. With this they potentially have to write it only for one platform and with this tool they can convert / adapt them to all the others. We’ll try it out.
