"Truthfully, I’m not that intrigued by Opera Widgets, if only because every company seems to have a widget platform these days. I’ve never quite understood the appeal of floating clocks (my apartment has a clock) or weather (my apartment has a window) on my desktop."I am a big Opera fan, but I have to agree with him on the Opera Widgets. Are there any widgets that are actually worth getting and that actually speed up productivity or are useful?
iMyst, the idea not only about searches. The idea is about passing parameters to widgets (Web apps) through "command line".2nd example: opera:widgets:converter 10km miWill open Unit Converter widget and show the answer: 6.21mi
