What? No way, Yahoo leads the way? What has the world come to?

Actually if you have been using Zimbra you will notice that this is the same as the Zimlets feature. I know Zimbra is owned by Yahoo but this is an open source project and people have been using it for a while.

It's probably true that Gmail has this on their roadmap. I would recommend those who aren't already building a product to create something on Yahoo and see which ones are "hits" and be ready to port to Gmail asap. Good luck, this is a great opportunity.

Yahoo is working hard to open their platform. But, why no developer actually appreciates them?

That depends on whether or not anyone can build an app to be used in Gmail. Link?
