iGoogle Going Bye, Bye November 1, 2013

[IPlayFair]

Notice here.

Correction:

IGoogle is being retired not Google Chrome. Sorry for the error.

That is just Chrome going bottoms up. Is that a correct understanding?

Correction, IGoogle is being retired. Sorry.

Thread title made me do a doubletake, then check the article. Your correction is right, they're retiring iGoogle, not Chrome.

Well I don't think anybody is going to loose any sleep over IGoogle being gone.

 

[Starbeetle]

Well I use Mozilla Firefox. So I don't mind.

I really liked it too, but then i tried the 7 gadget for weather and date, made them trasparent, and never went back. But I'm guessing you probably use your iGoogle account for a lot more than those two gadgets will do.

And didn't Microsoft suspend the gadget market?

-I will never forget the Joke of the Day, and many of the other 'usefull' apps that I used, again and again, until I began to see repeats
