Google offers lots of Gadgets which you can add to your Lotus Notes Sidebar since version 7.0.1.
I this example I am adding a very simple Google Gadget to the sidebar: The Google Clock. This Gadget does not interact with any recognizer.
I suggest to use the intergrated browser for this tutorial as it is easier to configure this way.
Search and use the "Getting Started with Widgets ..." toolbar button.
On the wizard dialog, choose "Google Gadgets".
You can "Browse the Google Gadget directory" if using the integrated web browser.
It opens a new browser windows within Lotus Notes, presenting a list of Gadgets. Click on the clock to see the preview.
On the preview page, use the "Add to Sidebar" button on the toolbar.
It will instantly add the Google Clock to your Sidebar.
