iGoogle Copies Facebook’s App Pages But Does A Much Better Job

Google has launched its new iGoogle homepage today, offering content partners and developers the ability to create gadgets that consume the whole page (finally making them useful)
Google can do this by letting you place gadgets on multiple Canvas pages that you can switch back and forth from.
For example, the New York Time gadget expands to take up half of the page, so I can actually read a story instead of getting a mini-headline in the old gadget version.
Partners inlcude the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, TV Guide, iLike, CurrentTV, and Go Comics.
More importantlly, Google has created extra-wide gadgets for Google Reader, Gmail, Google Finance, and YouTube.
Once Facebook is in there, I’ll never have to leave my homepage, sorry PageFlakes.

Jason I thought it was a relevant post and point out that there are other homepages that have different features. I never understood why iGoogle does not let me upload any website to my iGoogle page.

I read about a site on John Chow today called http://www.43marks.com - its like iGoogle but better cuz you can add you own bookmarks and the bookmarks can be websites not just gadgets and RSS feeds although you can upload your favorite RSS feeds too. Its free and totally customizable. Plus you don't have to login to see your bookmars and RSS feeds
