First Post from Google's Dashboard Widget

I'm posting this from Google's New Dashboard Widget for Mac. It's nice and simple and quite fast, and you can do bold and italics.

However, I'm not sure how easy it is to paste links and quotes. And this is also where dashboard falls down a bit. Having to switch in and out of dashboard to go to NetNewsWire or Safari to get the links and quotes or to another app for photos etc would make using this approach to posting time consuming for all but the simplest text posts.

Anyway, kudos for Google for utilising the dashboard framework to give us some neat Mac tools. Let's hope it's just the start.

Update: Here's Google's Dashboard Widgets page. And if you're wondering, I had to apply this update using a browser of course as there isn't any edit features with the widget.
