A couple of iGoogle gadgets are now shareable, Google announced. This is similar to functionality already available in Google Docs, where you can also collaborate with others on documents if you want to. A list of all shareable gadgets -- like sticky notes, or crossword puzzles -- can be found in the Google Directory.
As a gadget developer, to activate this feature you apparently need to include the line <optional feature="shareable-prefs"/> in your gadget"s ModulePrefs section.
