iGoogle

It all seems very nice. Creating a page to your liking, adding all those applications and personalising it. I don't know if it was the computer I was using or if there was a slow connection when I was doing it but I had a lot of trouble with the iGoogle page freezing and then dying on me. A refresh fixed it but is was annoying at the time.

Also when I went to search for the Google Book Search application it did not appear on the list till about the fourth page of results. You would think that Google would have a better search function than that. The search results are not set out very well either with the text only about 10 characters to a line.

On the whole I'd say that iGoogle sill needs some work but it is definitely heading in the right direction.

The book search was certainly not designed by a librarian...perhaps they need some librarians on the Google team!!
