Google Wednesday released code that will allow all Web publishers to incorporate the java script-based modules from the Google Personalized Homepage onto their sites. The search giant currently offers
1,220 different "gadgets"--such as stock quotes, clocks, games, puzzles, and movie showtimes--that can be added to the home page. Google competitor Yahoo offers a similar service, Yahoo Widgets,
derived from Konfabulator, which the portal purchased last year.
