Google has renamed its Personalized Home Page Service as iGoogle, and added new features.

Themes that have been previously available to US users are now in all international versions of iGoogle, and the service has been localised for an additional 22 locales.

(It might be more convenient if www.igoogle.com redirected to iGoogle rather than the standard search page at www.google.com.)

While Google Gadgets – such as the clock and calendar that appear on the default iGoogle page – have been available for some time, creating them required a certain amount of skill. Google has now created a form-driven tool to build simple gadgets to display photos, YouTube videos, countdown timers, greetings and other items for display on the user’s own iGoogle page or to share with others.
