iGoogle!

May 10, 2007

I was busy browsing with Google when I noticed something new (at least for me) at the upper left corner of its search page — a link to iGoogle. Curiosity made me click it and I didn’t regret doing so, I got transported to a Google homepage with a lot of jazz! It can be customized to add widgets like time, calendar, Gmail inbox, my favorite wikipedia, the oh-so-useful currency converter, breaking news, and even an art featured for the day. It’s pretty much like My Yahoo! but since I use Google a lot when searching for information, iGoogle just got me.

Here’s a screenshot of my iGoogle page:

I used the Beach theme, since it’s summer, and Google promises that it changes dynamically “to match your time of day, including local sunrise and sunset times.” Cool! My browsing experience just gets a lot better with iGoogle. :)

Bea: you’re welcome. i’m liking the theme which shows the sun rising on early mornings when i open iGoogle, and the sky getting so dark on evenings. with matching moon pa! tama nga ang Google, dynamic yung theme, it matches the time of day talaga. nakakaliw. :)

Curacha: really… di ko alam dapat upgrade ba yun? do you have a Gmail or any Google account ba?

about me

I’m just another simple soul inhabiting the blogosphere, writing about the bits and pieces of my life, sharing my thoughts and reflections on life’s journey… these are what I fondly call my ideas in pink.


Ideas are powerful. A train of thought can make or break, build or destroy. The choice is ours. Our ideas become our future. I believe that life’s meaningful lessons are best learned when shared with others.
