Love Google’s Desktop Gadgets? If you haven’t tried them out, you should! Their kind of like Google’s alternative to Yahoo’s Widgets. Anyway, how about getting paid $5,000 to design one of your own? That is right, create a submission for their contest and you can win big. Can there be a better way to spend your summer than with Google?

The contest runs until July 31st, 2006 and, while supplies last, each
developer who submits an approved gadget will receive a limited edition
Google Desktop Developer T-shirt and have their gadget shown to
millions of Google Desktop users around the world. A panel of judges
will also award three prizes based on popularity, visual appeal, use of
new features and creativity. We’ll award $5,000 to the first place
winner, $2,000 for second place, and $1,000 for third place.
