Testing "Blogger Posting Gadget"

I used the "Blogger Posting Gadget" in Gmail to create the brief blog post, shown below. For more information about "Blogger Posting Gadget," refer to "Blogging from iGoogle and Gmail."

[begin test] This is a brief test of the "Blogger Posting Gadget." The text of this post was created using Gmail. [end test]

Tech Tips: The following step-by-step directions supplement the instructions provided by Google.

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click "Settings" (near the upper-right corner of browser window).
3. In the menubar, click "Labs": "Enable" 'Add any gadget by URL'; click "Save Changes." "Gadgets" should appear as a new option in the "Settings" menubar.
4. In the Settings menubar, click "Gadgets." Enter the following URL and click "Add": http://www.blogger.com/gadgets/post.xml
5. "Blogger Posting Gadget" should appear in the lower-left sidebar of Gmail.

Editorial Commentary: I can't help but wonder whether "Blogger Posting Gadget" is a solution in search of a problem. Like Blogger, Gmail is accessed using a Web browser -- if you have access to a Web browser, then why wouldn't you use Blogger to create blog posts? All things being equal, I'd use Blogger every time. Please tell me, what am I missing?
