What's new with iGoogle?
16. listopada 2008.
I'm an iGoogle addict. I check my news, email, stocks, feeds and weather there and sometimes even manage to squeeze in a game or two during the day. Having everything in one place is super convenient, but I often wish I could deal with all my stuff without having to leave my iGoogle page. With today's release, I can. We've rolled out an updated design for iGoogle to all U.S. users, which includes full canvas views for gadget and support for full feed reading.
Not all of our gadgets have canvas views yet, but here are some of the best:
News -
New gadgets from
The New York Times
,
The Wall Street Journal
and
The Washington Post
give me full-page views of what's new in the world. Nice.
Games -
The
Sudoku gadget
lets me play thousands of full-page Sudoku puzzles without squinting at 6-point type. The
GoComics gadget
gives me my fix of
Garfield
and
Doonesbury
and lets me choose from all of their other comics. I've also spent many coffee breaks browsing through videos from
YouTube
and
CurrentTV
.
Entertainment -
I've configured the
TV Guide
gadget to my zip code and just used it today to figure out when the newest episode of
The Office
is playing.
Flixster's movies gadget
lets me access trailers, ratings, and theater information for any movie. I also use the
iLike gadget
to browse news, concerts, and free MP3s from my favorite musicians.
Google stuff -
The new
Gmail gadget
lets me read my full email and perform simple actions like send or reply to emails without leaving iGoogle. Last but not least, a gadget that I authored and use every day is for
Google Finance
, which provides full-screen finance charts and news of the stocks in my portfolio.
Here's a
full list
of our highlighted canvas view gadgets.
We've also replaced the tabs at the top with a left navigation that allows for access to any gadget with one click. We're very excited about these changes because it makes iGoogle a more useful homepage and a
better platform for developers
. And this is just the beginning: Expect to see more canvas gadgets created by developers and more new features on iGoogle soon. Not in the U.S.? Don't worry. We'll also be rolling out this updated version in other countries very soon.
