The Salesforce / Google Integration I’m Looking For

If you look at the new ways you can integrate Google Gadgets into iGoogle with your Google Spreadsheets data, you’ll see some pretty good looking charts.  I’d like to see the ability to use Google Gadgets within a Salesforce Dashboard or Report. 

Appirio has done some cool stuff with Salesforce data secured in Google Gadgets on your iGoogle homepage.  Now I’d like to see the reverse and see some Google Chart Gadgets inside Salesforce. 

If you like the idea, please promote it here on the Idea Exchange.
