What's happening to iGoogle?
iGoogle will be retired on November 1, 2013. The mobile
version was retired on July 31, 2012.
How did you come to this decision?
We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could
fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized,
real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on
platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for something like iGoogle
has eroded over time, so we’ll be winding down iGoogle on November 1, 2013,
giving you a full 16 months from the announcement to adjust or easily export
your iGoogle data.
What will happen to the data stored in my gadgets?
All of your personal data stored in other Google products
will continue to be available via those products, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Finance, Google Docs (now Google Drive),Google Bookmarks, and Google Tasks. Other gadgets, like
the to-do
list, allow you to export your data - look for the “Download all” option
under the drop-down menu tied to the title of your list. Most iGoogle gadgets
are created and maintained by third-party developers. If you’d like to export
your data, you should contact the gadget creator directly.
I really like iGoogle -- are there any other alternatives?
On your mobile device, Google
Play offers applications ranging from games to news
readers tohome screen
widgets.
If you’re a fan of Google Chrome, the Chrome Web Store provides a
similar range of options likeproductivity
tools and applications to check
the weather. In addition, just like iGoogle, you canpersonalize Chrome with
a theme.
