5 : Heard of iGoogle?

As the title suggest, I will be blogging about iGoogle. 

Since Google is one of the most used search engine. I bet most of you have seen this a million times before! 

But do you you can change the boring looking google search to these?

Just by owning one google account! 

So what is iGoogle?

iGoogle is a homepage that allows you to personalize. You can choose your own favorite character, color or even brand and set it as the theme of your homepage. 

Besides that, it contains the usual search box that we see and also allows you to add in any number of gadgets you below the search box. 

Without leaving your iGoogle homepage, you are able to access to the various activities and information from the web. Also, these gadgets are available in various forms.

How to add these gadgets?

There will be a box ("add gadget") on the left hand side of the iGoogle homepage. 

After selecting that box, you will come to this page.

You simply choose the gadget that you wanted and click "add it now"

These are some examples of the gadgets:

• Gmail messages
• BBC news
• Weather forecasts, stock quotes,
• Movie showtimes
• Store bookmarks for quick access to your favorite sites from any computer
• you are even able to design your own gadget!

You can also do your own layout. Simply by moving the cursor over and move it about. (Easy and convenient!)

However, if you want to delete any gadget, it can be easily done. 

Simply by choosing the gear like icon at the top right corner of the gadget box. And choose accordingly. 

Personally, I find iGoogle creates convenience to my internet use. Like what I mentioned above, it allows me to navigate around the web without leaving my homepage. All work are done by just clicking around on the same homepage. :)
