Widgets and the Dashboard widgets of Apple Macintosh computer users (Microsoft refers to them as Gadgets both in Windows Vista and the Windows Live system.). KlipFolio refers to them as Klips, and Google Desktop refers to them as either panels or gadgets.

Widgets, in this case, are downloadable interactive virtual tools that provide services such as showing the user the latest news, the current weather, a dictionary, a map program, sticky notes, or even a language translator, among other things.

ThinkFree API will allow web developers to include the ThinkFree office suite in their website. This could be from something as simple as a way to view a spreadsheet to an e-learning system for users to complete homework online.

Due to the fact ThinkFree supports MS Office formats (including Office 2007) you could simply use the API as a way to view Office files without the needs for Microsoft Office! API endusers don’t get an account at ThinkFree but can only use the suite to save it to their desktop. Best of all, this entire service is free! continue
