Last month, Ming blogged about girly iGoogle themes. Today, I’ll talk about my favourite iGoogle gadgets and news stuff I like to keep up with. Until iGoogle came around, I never really cared for having a “home page”. I remember trying to use Yahoo’s one years ago, but I couldn’t get into it. Now, though, iGoogle’s my god. I cannot imagine my internet life without it now. My only problem is trying to remember to look at all three of my sections instead of just the main one. I know the simple solution to that is to put all of my stuff on a single page, but that will get too cluttered and too complicated for me! Without further ado, here are my favourites.

Recently my much loved homepage iGoogle just got much better on  both the design and practicality fronts.

The artist themes that you can select for personalizing your homepage now include a whole slew of my favorite musicians (Radiohead, Coldplay, Gnarls Barkley, etc.) and fashion designers (Gucci, Burberry, Dolce and Gabanna, Michael Kors, Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo, Diane Von Furstenberg, Herve Leger, Vivenne Tam, etc.) - there are so many great new designs that I keep changing my preferences around so I can get to all of them!  At the moment I’ve selected BCBG Max Azria (screenshot here) because it’s lovely and I’m a huge fan of his line. Other great girly themes include Anna Sui, Sergio Rossi, Stella McCartney, and Sara Bareilles just to name a few.

The other great change has been the movement of tabs to the side and the introduction of canvas-view gadgets. Now all the apps I have are dropped down in a way that makes them all much easier to access (it’s like a new set of bookmarks/toolbar links within your iGoogle page). The canvas-view also means that I can look at everything on a wide page within the iGoogle page itself and not have to open it up in a new tab - a browser within a browser if you will. As an example, here’s a canvas-view of New Haven weather.
