Advantages: Quick, reliable, thousands of add ons

Disadvantages: None

iGoogle is fantastic - especially if you use different computers or travel a lot. It allows you to take your personalised version of the Google homepage wherever you're browsing the web. You can set up your page to have different 'widgets' on it, giving you useful information or adding features to help your browsing. For example, on my page I have my most used bookmarks, so I can get to my favourite webpages wherever I am really easily. I also have my Google Mail inbox, and my Google Reader for RSS feeds, so that all of the things I most use the web for are all in one place, instantly, on my homepage. There's thousands of other widgets too for whatever you might need - I also have one with the BBC weather forecast.

It's a great idea for keeping your web experience simple and centralised wherever you might be, and it works quickly and reliably too. If you're not using it, give it a try, you might be surprised just how useful it can be!


You can also customise the look of the homepage too - which is fun and adds the personal touch, but it's not something I use that often, as I prefer the clean and simple standard Google interface.

Summary: A fantastic way of keeping your most used bits of the web in one handy place.
