iGoogle -- not an April Fool's joke, not a merger

iGoogle? Why? Do we really need another 'i' product. I'm even tired of Apple using it, thank the gods that it is Apple TV instead of iTV.

Oh, and regarding the Folger's, "Tastes as good as fresh perked"... Everyone knows that a percolator is the absolute worst way to prepare coffee, right?

does anyone else have a problem on igoogle where if they click a link in one of the bars it thnks you're trying to move and won't let you open the link? in firefox that is.

>You cannot trademark the letter "i", I'm sorry to tell you.

Nor the word "pod". So we can all call stuff iPod.

Hardly. The customized home page is branded with the word "iGoogle". If someone has a trademark for that word, then the fight is on, if they want to tangle with 1200 pound Googlerillas.

Uh, dis anyone notice that the Add a Tab feature is gone?

@ Kwahnoom:

I was wondering the same thing when I first started using the Google homepage. Now the mystery of "/ig" has been solved!

@rp: "The Internet is serious business."

personally, i'm very sick of the "i" stuff. get rid of the lame cutesy stuff, it's soooo 90s.

I love seeing Google getting hip.

I use google.com/ig for my homepage, and I didn't even realize they added the "i" there until it was brought up with this post. Heh.

The i stands for individualized, which can also be seen when visiting you google homepage @ google.com/ig (ig = individualized google).

#4 & #7: not to mention that the folks already using the "iGoogle" mark were already infringing on Google's trademark because it is deceptively similar.
