iGoogle the new name of Google's personalized homepage. I've been using it for a few months now because... Well, because I love it! Hehe. Read more here.

Anyway, I've been using themes in iGoogle. I said in my other post that the theme on iG dynamically changes, depending on the time in your location. BUT it's accurate only for people in the States. Now that there's iG for countries outside the States, it's accurate to my time. Yeyyyyyy!!! Now I get to see my kitsune doing other stuff aside from stargazing and sleeping (and sleeping while ghost kitsune visit the tea house)!

Other new stuff in iG:
Gadgetmaker - Word is that there are seven new gadget wizards to play with.
  1. A Photo gadget (share a series of photos with others)
  2. GoogleGram gadget (allowing you to display a new greeting message to someone for every day for 7 days)
  3. Daily Me gadget (which will show what you’re currently doing, as well as quotes, what’s on your mind etc.)
  4. Personalized Countdown gadget
  5. A Personalized List (you can e.g. publish your own top ten list with this, Google says)
  6. YouTube video favorites gadget (pictured above, this gadget will let you create a YouTube channel to share)
  7. A “Free Form” gadget (an “all-purpose gadget that lets you meld text and image in any way,” Google says)
My community - Here's how it works:
When you publish gadgets to the directory, they’ll ask for your location and name, and the location data will now be used for the “My Community” section to be more localized for your area. These gadgets will be able to be posted anywhere on the web, Google says, just like the gadgets which are currently available (and Google Desktop
should be able to use these as well).
I have yet to try these gadgets... I'll might post something else (or update this post) when I've tried it. Hehe. Happy experimenting, everyone!
