Google are a business. If a particular service is not generating enough revenue, they will stop offering that service. Clearly not enough people are using iGoogle to keep it financially viable.I see no reason to actually retire the service, at all.
Exactly, it's like they want to lose customers, and that they think every iGoogle user uses Chrome too.I see no reason to actually retire the service, at all.
It's like saying "Let's stop supporting a good feature for web browsers because there are android apps".
No. iGoogle is my Firefox homepage for a simple reason, a google search bar, google links and a couple of RSS feeds.
Nope, that's not an iGoogle feature, that's just a Google feature.So... That weird google page will disapear and they'll only have the normal google page like before?
Will that remove the tabs on top regarding gmail, docs and etc tho?
