I am sure many of you are familiar with some of Google’s widgets, they have literally thousands of them. But did you know that all of them are compatible with your GGE profile page? They are so easy to add that I am surprised that more people haven’t added them. Many profiles embed video, or edit the text styles in the profiles, but there are so many more ways to customize your profile. I thought it would be worthwhile, at least, to alert you to the widgets that Google has to offer that may be of interest to the gaming community.

There are playable widgets for classic games such as Frogger, PacMan, and Asteroids, standard games like chess, checkers, and backgammon, and even some newer games like Bowman 2 and Gold Miner. You can find technology news, entertainment news, and even just regular news. Pretty much anything you can think of, there is a widget for it. There is even a Terramagnetoscope widget if you find yourself wondering about the Earth’s magnetic field status.

There are about 8000 widgets available, all of them can be added to your GGE profile in about two minutes using the [ggadget=”URL”] GGE code explained here and an uber module.

Don’t forget that you can also add slide.com slideshows and Xbox Live Gamer Cards to your profile. Check out the widget whitelist for more information.

So go and pimp your profiles, until they can be pimped no more.
