Now Embed All Kinds Of Google Stuff With Web Elements

At Google’s  I/O conference this week the company unveiled a new set of widgets called Web Elements that allow users to quickly integrate Google’s most popular products such as  Maps, Calendar and Search, and  into their sites with a minimal amount of work. Other widgets include ‘Presentations’, which allow users to embed presentations from Google Docs into a site, and ‘Spreadsheets’, which allow you to do the same with Google Docs spreadsheets.

Much of this functionality has been available through Google APIs, but most people don’t know how to use them. With Google Web Elements publishers can just copy and paste the code into their websites. One widget called the ‘Conversation’ Element, allows site visitors to post comments and videos. Site owners have the option of restricting these conversations to their sites, or to share them as global conversations through Google Friend Connect.
