Google's Personalized Home Page iGoogle

Google is adding a bit of style to home pages customized by users of its globally popular Internet search engine. The Mountain View, California-based firm is adorning personalized homepages with an “iGoogle” logo and rolling out “Gadget Maker” tools for people to easily tailor pages with pictures, videos or musings. Increasing the ranks of people using iGoogle homepages enables the Internet firm to make more money from online advertising and refine its search formula by studying the terms people use to seek information online.



Developers around the world have been working hard to make more and more of the world's content available for iGoogle. Now we can make our own gadget today, without having any programming or web design experience at all, anyone can create Google Gadgets for iGoogle and send them to friends. Simple gadget templates include a photo gadget, a "GoogleGram" greeting card-style gadget, a YouTube video channel gadget, and a free-form gadget.
