iGoogle : Google re-branding personal homepage, adding widge

[thaiseodev]

Google is renaming its personal homepage to "iGoogle" tonight. Google is also adding a new tool called Gadget Maker that helps people create their own widgets for use on their iGoogle page. The Gadget Maker comes with seven templates, including two media gadgets to pull in content from YouTube and on and offline photo collections. Users will also be able to organize their personal space with a countdown timer and a simple ten item to-do list. There's also a free-form widget that lets user mix together various media like text and pictures.

This is a step in the right direction for Google's personalized homepage efforts, although not nearly as fast as some of its competitors in the single page aggregation space. Netvibes has recently come out with branded content pages, and Yourminis has taken the widgets off the browser and onto the desktop using Apollo. I'm still not a big fan of Google's layout, which feels a little boxy and restrictive, but the new themes have spiced things up.

The new features are set to launch at 9PM PST tonight.
