Google Personalized Homepage has been rebranded iGoogle and will relaunch at iGoogle.com. I always wondered why they had “ig†in the personalized homepage URL; finally we know that it means iGoogle.
Google has also released a simple Gadget Maker to help users build their own iGoogle gadgets without any coding knowledge. Google will provide seven pre-built gadgets to start (see them here). Once you’ve built the gadget, you can invite your friends or make it publicly available, so that others can try them. You’ll also be able to check out gadgets created by your Gmail contacts under a new section called ‘My Community’. Several sources like TechCrunch have indicated that iGoogle.com will be launched today, but as of now, the site isn’t functional.
Google had organized a workshop on Google’s personalization services for bloggers and journalists at the Googleplex, Google Blogoscoped has an inside coverage of the workshop. In my opinion the name sounds too Applish, they could have come up with something like GPage as they are stepping into the crowded AJAX homepage market, but then again iGoogle is better than its previous name which was quite hard to remember.

Hahaha. I just noticed this. At first I was thinking: where the heck did my “Personalized Home” go to? Then I realized there was a new button called “iGoogle” and thought that maybe that was it.
But the new name is a bit misleading…I mean, what the heck does iGoogle have to do with personalizing your home page?

Welcome back to the year 1998 folks…Maybe now we can get our Google in different colors? Bondi Blue Google anyone?. I think Eric Schmidt was spending too much time at Apple because now he thinks he’s a iCEO.
Isn’t that insanely great!

But igoogle is quite smart name as it means I use Google which is quite true for most of the people.

Well, actually, Google might’ve thought that they need to retain their “Google” trademark in the name to lure some guys over from other homepages since the market is tight. But its just a crazy idea. lol
