Despite its having been around for apparently three years or so, I’ve only just stumbled upon i-Google. Exactly how I’ve managed to miss this particular Internet innovation for so long is beyond me. I recall opening my gmail account simply to escape the daily spam deluge hitting my old e-mail account. This in turn led me to Blogger and eventually a whole plethora of other Google based paraphernalia.
When I think about Google’s global ubiquity and their apparent stranglehold on all things Internet, I feel I should do with a shudder, but I can’t seem to help myself, like a web browsing junkie looking for his next fix.
Still, I really must doff my cap in their general direction for i-Google. Over the past few year’s I appear to have hermetically sealed myself within the walls of social networking sites, rarely popping my head above the parapet to see what’s going on out there in the real world.
Now I’ve got a new, shiny, customisable homepage, chock full of technical trinkets and web-wise wonderments. Best of all is the ability to be updated with links to my most favourite external webshites and blogs.
Thanks Google for freeing me from the tyranny of networking socially!
