18 days and it's gone Sad

Tried finding alternatives (or like google suggest a plugin for chrome), but nothing comes close to what igoogle had for me Sad

My igoogle:

And now my Netvibes

(I did hide page elements with adblock on both pages to make it look cleaner)

Still searching for something that could display what igoogle did on 1 page and as efficient as they did it Sad

From all these different providers there are, i have only found one (which is netvibes) that is actually properly made and doesn't feel like a cheap ripoff.

But its not the same DAMMMMMIT!!!


Joking aside, I am with sausje on this one, I hate it when services I use close down or change, it always takes me ages to get used to it, and then it goes and fucking changes again.

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?Smile

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

I never could get used to it. I used it, but it started behaving weird so I removed iGoogle, and started using Google.

Btw, why are they closing it? Because of i in front (Apples patent)? Laughing Cool Face

Yeah, back when they announced that they would stop iGoogle, I got to terms with it pretty quickly and realized that I mainly used Google Reader on my iGoogle page. So I just made Reader my Start Page.

Then they announced they would discontinue Google Reader. Dicks.
