Google ,which was formerly Google Personalized Homepage and Google IG,is a personalised service of Google.The main features of iGoogle is that it allows the users to include web feeds and Google Gadgets. Google on July 8,2008 had announced that it was beginning the testing period for a new and improved version of iGoogle, which includes several additional new features .On October 16, 2008,Google released its latest version and retired its old version.The new features to be included were replacing tabs with left navigation,including chat functionality ,as well as a canvas view gadget for RSS.

Unfortunately,users have complained of this redesign as most people have disliked this change.The main changes to iGoogle include the ability to increase a gadget application to a full screen, called canvas view and a new left-hand navigation bar.Until now,there had been at least one online petition, requesting that iGoogle users get the option to reset their pages to the previous design,which they preferred.A common complaint is towards the new left-hand navigation column,which many gripe that it takes up valuable screen space and causing a hindrance to their user experience.Another complaint has been that the Gmail gadget had made links in e-mail messages inactive.Above all, there has been objection to Gmail messages which is showing up by default via Gmail gadget.This is a major hindrance for people at work, who don't want their information to be viewed by others.In one of the discussion forums, Google's representative had responded in one of the forums that Google is trying hard to sort these issues.
