THING #16 : iGoogle

I have created my own iGoogle page, which was a lot of fun to do.
Choosing a theme was a little difficult, as there was such a large variety of these to choose from. The artist themes were my favourite, as they were more creative than some of the general ones. The artist theme pictures also change at various times throughout the day to make your iGoogle page a little more interesting. The theme I chose was Astro Boy, as I use to watch and idolise him when I was little.

Adding gadgets can be really addictive!
I wanted to add all the funny and interesting ones, but had to control myself in the end, wondering how many of them I was really going to use.
Gadgets that I added (amongst others) include: the Herald Sun and Google New Feeds, weather, Google Map Search, You Tube, Facebook and a currency converter, which will come in handy- especially at the moment as the dollar continues to fall during this global credit crisis.
Many of these gadgets I would use on a daily basis, so having page where they are all grouped together is real time saver.

Would I like to work for Google?... Well, I've seen various stories on Today Tonight (Channel 7) and on You Tube about what Google is like to work for... and if the staff have as much fun as they claim they do- ABSOLUTELY!
