Search with Design

so there.

Its the same as My Google, which I don’t use. So perhaps this is an effort to convert non-My Google users by pegging the popular “i” in front of their logo. iGoogle’s first noticeable difference is the tabs.

Now you can have tabbed tabs if you are a power firefox user. Or, if you are a superhero firefox user, you will already have set your default homepage to a folder not a single webpage so that on each load of Firefox the browser pulls up all your favorite and necessary websites.

The other trendy addition are themes. Each pre-built theme allows a bit of personalization to the otherwise sterile and milky homepage that is synonymous with Google. The theme changes the font color, heading colors and backgrounds, and main portion of the screen where the Google search box and your admin controls live. This portion has always been my gripe with My Google iGoogle, too much real estate given to their search box, and not enough to my selected content and information. Smart product development though, it keeps Google literally front and center above all your stuff.

I’m heavily anticipating a mac announcement about iapple.com.
