Arne, I am working now on an OpenSocial gadget to run specifically in iGoogle that we hope to have completed within the next few weeks. We noticed that on the iGoogle start page, the link "New! Add social gadgets to post updates and play games with friends," takes me to a featured gadget page that only lists about 20 social gadgets. How would one go about getting an opensocial gadget featured on that page? Also, will Google be adding a 'Social' category to the gadget directory listings anytime soon?
