CLICK A MOUSE, FEED A MOUTH

This link is for a nobel cause.

www.freerice.com

"A food-linked word game put on the Internet a month ago has proved a runaway success and has already generated enough rice to feed 50,000 people, the United Nations World Food Programme said on Friday."

All you need to do is select the correct definition from the multiple choice options of the given word and you help to contribute 10 rice grains for the needy.

In way to doing this, you might actually improve your vocab.

Shows how the tech. things is having impact everywhere.

SPREAD THE WORD.

iGoogle - The near Complete story

There is lot of buzz about iGoogle, so here is almost complete or say satisfying pick on the big thing.

This is what www.techcrunch.com reported :---

Rebrand & New Features: Google IG To Relaunch as iGoogle

Michael Arrington

68 comments »

Google’s personalized home page, Google IG, has been rebranded as iGoogle and will relaunch tomorrow at igoogle.com. A number of bloggers were brought in to Google HQ today and are reporting the details.

iGoogle is Google’s entrant into the crowded customizable Ajax home page space, where My Yahoo is the clear leader with over 50 million monthly unique visitors. iGoogle currently has just over 7 million monthly unique visitors.

But Google has never promoted iGoogle, and it has a number of superior features to MyYahoo. The most important is that Google’s personalized home page supports widgets (they call them gadgets). Yahoo has stubbornly refused to integrate the My Yahoo property with their Konfabulator widgets platform. Through Google widgets, users can bring Gmail, Gtalk and other services right to their home page. Finally, Google allows users to customize the template of iGoogle - they say that 30% of users choose to do this.

Google is now offering a “personalized home” link on their main home page, which will drive significant numbers of new users to the site. Look out, Yahoo.

"

Well it is almost complete story in itself, but "how 2 do it" is not clearly explained.

But as reported by many places -- www.iGoogle.com returns the original google search page.

To get to the Personalised Google homepage, we have to try

http://www.google.com/ig

This Google homepage is not something new and has been on the scene for quite a while, the only thing which is making it stand out is its widgets(gadgets) which are better than MyYahoo!. The few good or rather timepass gadgets include knowing ur IP address, weather, calender, Optical illusions, text to translate, youtube apart from Gmail preview(u may add more).
But have a try on MyYahoo also (if u haven't yet)

http://my.yahoo.com

MyYahoo which is quite as popular as Yahoo mail itself is very good and needs 2 be seen will Google rebranding policy after Froggle will work against Yahoo.

Untill then Google vs Yahoo
continues!!!
