iGoogle is official

May 1st, 2007

Yesterday, Google announced that iGoogle would be the official name for its personalized homepage service.

Today, the iGoogle has subtly replaced the personalized service and its new Gadget Maker has been released, allowing you to create your own gagets for iGoogle.

But, with the i- prefix, there has been buzzing around the blogosphere about the fact it immediately reminds you of the iPod and similar products.

Apple surely won’t care, as Google’s CEO is on the Apple board, but this may cause some confusion and restlessness in the near future.

No matter what the i means, Google’s personalized page and Gadget Maker are sure to be an even greater success than before.
