After the success of iPod and iPhone, behold another blockbuster – iGoogle. It’s kind of surprising to see Google adapt an Apple-like naming convention, but apart from name, everything is Google-like. iGoogle is a dashboard, one-stop shop to access a variety of gadgets. These doodads give you a single-page access to a wide range of services like you email (gmail, yahoo, hotmail), news, Google office tools and other tools and loads and loads of other third party widgets at your finger tips.
Furthermore, you can customize the page layout as all these widgets are movable (yes, simple drag and drop), plus you can also configure each of the gadgets as per your requirements, and you can also select from a variety of themes, as a pleasantry for your eyes. Seems like, Google is trying to encapsulate the sea of internet into a small captive. By the way, you may imagine that such a utility would gulp down a lot of bandwidth and would be very slow, but NO, it is pretty much like any other Google app, fast and simple.So once again: All Hail The Internet King “Google”!!!
