Am I familiar with iGoogle? Ask any of the staff here that go to do a good search on one of my logins. It is the first page I go to everyday and is my homepage at home. I'd love to show you a screen shot but don't seem to have the option, sorry fellas.
Was i-Google easy to customise?
iGoogle is very easy to customise, much more than many sites. Each widget came be moved by dragging the mouse around the page, expanded out to full screen, mini screen or minimised so just it's title is showing. For example, my google reader takes up a big chunk of space at the bottom of the page expanded to see the first few entries. In contrast my email minimised at the top right my screen so my emails are not out for all the world to see. I have very few widgets as I found if I can't see them I don't tend to use them but one I have kept are Googledocs, Translator and Dictionary....and my hamster pet...every library should have a pet.
Do you find it helpful?
I like that everything I want to check throughout the day is in out place. I've just added a Twitter link as well so I have no excuse for not Twittering. I wonder how long that will last. I've also added Facebook, but as I can view that at work I've just minised it to a title to remind to check it.
Did you try any of the other tools as well? How did you find them?
I must admit I looked at them but just found them too messy, fussy and too much trouble. My igoogle has it all: one of the most popular search engines out there, calendar, googledocs, googlereader, access to googlemaps and images search and if I choose to not to use gmail I can always add a widget for Hotmail or Yahoo mail. I'm not sure why I'd go somewhere else.
