Why not just visit the site or ping it? You don't need a whole gadget for that do you?

I imagine that a "gadget" is really just a program that runs in a tiny window with a context menu, though I don't know that much about it for fact. I think that widget implementations are company-specific though, aren't they?

Try Authoring Sidebar Gadgets in C#.
C# is not the only option. This detailed tutorial explains how to develop gadgets without C#. (Orginally gadgets were authored in a mix of XML, HTML, CSS, and some IE scripting language.)
How to get started with Windows 7 gadgets is a related Stack Overflow question that may also provide additional information.
