Right Info at your fingertips so you can add value - Power of iGoogle

iGOOGLE (Search Interface Customised for Feeds and Gadgets)
MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS INFO AT THEIR FINGERTIPS!!!
The powerful use of iGoogle doesnt seem to really get communicated day-to-day and it gets overlooked, but we are all over-whelmed with information and this simple device to have a custom home page is MIGHTY in its reach. The combination with Google's Chrome Browser is superb but IE struggles more with moving in and out of the cloud based applications it connects too such as Documents Google DOCS and more.

  • One criticsm is that the menu navigation to tools is not as elegant or configurable as it might be but hey its free they structure feedback and no doubt will improve still further.
  •  its the power to customise that is key
  • no need to keep signing in and out and personalised content to suit you
  • igoogle its so good it made me change my browse technology now how is that?
  • it integrates with RSS Feeds and Links and Gadgets to make life easier and provide content you choose that automatically headlines on your page without time consuming searches
  • you choose as and when to interact
  • used effectively its a MUST HAVE tool for anyone who needs knowledge at their fingertips
  • and actually who doesn't
  • easy to set-up and customise minimal it knowledge required its a fab opportunity for free so grab it and try it out..
So try it with your existing your current browser IE Mozilla or whatever and it will get you going iGOOGLE - then if it proves as useful as I find it you may even want to consider Chrome,


How Come it is Free? No Such thing as a Free Lunch ?
Google's  business model is all about getting critical mass by being so good and free that anyone who wants to buy or advertise is online to their search engine.  Google  via AdWords earns solid revenue and via AdSense they reward good content providers. ITS REALLY A WIN WIN WIN!

Good for Google, Good for Advertisers, Good for End Users and Buyers: what a great idea.
It is a very neat business model, so of course to do this effectively you pay with detailed disclosure of your search logs (protected by privacy)  but its better than cash...and makes it easier for you to earn your fees by having the right information at your finger tips.
