| What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | Druid 22 | 7/5/12 9:13 PM | I go to my igoogle homepage 20 times a day at least to check email, news, stocks, weather, etc. It is wonderful - I love this. Now it is going away - why? What does google suggest I use as an alternative to this one-click paradise? Jumping aroun |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | george1_lol | 7/6/12 7:13 PM | This is not an alternative to the aggregation that iGoogle does. As the OP said, you are making life harder for us. Besides, the more extensions and web pages used present a memory and speed issue. I like to have news aggregated on one page, head |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | iSwitched | 7/7/12 7:41 AM | I switched to Netvibes and have been very pleased with it, and have never looked back. You can export all your iGoogle content to Netvibes via an "OPML" file. I've posted instructions here: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/webse |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | MARKCBET | 7/7/12 5:13 PM | Think Dingus works for Google, or has shares, or just doesn't care about the home page experience. His advice on using Chrome and the store is ludicrous |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | B3RyL | 7/7/12 5:22 PM | Second that! Chrome and its extensions do not provide similar functionality to iGoogle. Google+ is also usless for us. In fact, no other Google product emulates the usability of iGoogle. Sorry. |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | costi | 7/7/12 6:06 PM | If I'm using someone else computer, I may not want to download a program/Chrome. I do not like the idea! I am trying to use protopage |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | MARKCBET | 7/7/12 6:57 PM | But Chrome does not provide the functionality and simultaneous presentation that nearly everyone bar you is seeking. |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | Thomas P. | 7/7/12 7:24 PM | I'd recommend Netvibes or Protopage (more details in https://plus.google.com/105563542992664756238/posts/ibcjCHxmS2y ) |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | MARKCBET | 7/7/12 7:39 PM | Dingus Learn some English to go with your google corporate speak!! 'Bar' of course as most literate infants would know means 'apart from' in this context - ie: as in 'bar you everyone seems to have sensible comments to make'! |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | B3RyL | 7/7/12 8:03 PM | What if the computer in question doesn't have Chrome installed, and the user doesn't have administrative rights? And again, chrome's extensions do not provide similar functionality. |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/7/12 9:23 PM | Dingus, Can you recommend Chrome apps or extensions that can provide the following information all on one page? - News - Alabama College Football - SEC scores - NCAA scores - Local weather forecast - Stock quotes - Dilbert cartoon - Local movie list |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/7/12 9:25 PM | Oh, also news from Space.com, together with the same page that I just listed. |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/7/12 11:56 PM | Dingus, everything I've found in a store simply creates an icon. Nothing I have found in the store will place the CONTENT for everything I've listed one one page. Unless you have a suggestion, then it's back to http://my.yahoo.com for me, because they can |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/8/12 12:17 AM | Dingus, App icons are not the same as a web portal. |

| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/8/12 12:34 AM | I have looked, and have yet to find it. Yes, I'm attached. It is a very efficient form, much more-so than clicking app icons or extenion icons. |
| Re: What does Google suggest as an alternative to my igoogle home page? | mp1a | 7/8/12 12:38 AM | Even on my smartphone, I have important content gathered all on the same page. It's utterly stupid to need to click icons and wait for the app to open to see the content. That reminds me of Windows, circa 1994. |
