RIP another Google service: iGoogle, the company’s personalized Web
portal product, finally bit the dust today, some eight months after its shutdown was announced.
iGoogle has slipped into the darkness quietly: there’s no final blog post marking its demise and the URL for the service — google.com/ig — now navigates directly to Google’s regular search page.
While it wasn’t as successful or well-used as Google Reader, the RSS service that went offline in July, iGoogle was popular with some who appreciated the ability to customize
the Google search page with news feeds, games, widgets and other
information that was easy to glance at and digest over the course of a
day.
