Teun.ToString()

A colleague pointed out that my iGoogle gadget for looking at the live search behavior on funda.nl, while cool, would be better implemented as a mapplet. I guess that this it true for most gadgets that have a map as their main UI. So this morning, while sick in bed, I looked over the docs for mapplets. Turns out to be really easy to convert a gadget to a mapplet: they basically are gadgets with a shared map to interact with. So with half an hour of playing around, I have a working mapplet version. It seems to be OK, but the title bar keeps blinking and the performance of the map seems less than in the gadget version. If anyone has any tips to improve this, please comment.
