CHIC HOMEPAGES: WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW!

gosh, i sound like a magazine cover. anyway, i know homepages aren't the most glamorous of things, but not a lot of you might be aware of such a thing as iGoogle. (i know, such an original name right?). well igoogle is a service that is meant to be a replacement for whatever is your homepage right now. it is meant to be a one-stop source for all the other places you need to go when you open up your browser. i know, sounds boring right? well, quite recently google collaborated with some artists and designers to make what is known as "artist themes"

artist themes range from brands such as gucci, to musicians like coldplay and radiohead, and a whole range of designers i don't even know about (we have bj for that).

what's cool with igoogle is that it is highly customizable. there are widgets for almost anything you need and use online. have a gmail account? you can check it right there, just add the appropriate widget for it. got a blog you read often, then just grab the rss and add it yourself, and voila, you have a gadget for it.

*hint hint* *nudge nudge*


but arguably the coolest part about igoogle is that themes themselves change by the hour, so you're never stuck with that one boring image.
for example:

jimmy choo



philippe starck

so there you go, you're now the kid with the coolest homepage at the office.
you're welcome. =D
