Google Now is awesome; merge them with the iGoogle team and make it amazing.

My theory is that by the time iGoogle goes away for good (November 1 of next year), there will be a way to customize the right side of your Google+ page with widgets.

It won't be as flexible as iGoogle or support the same old widgets, but the "social widgets" will be something they can push iGoogle users over to, as well as a platform to help advance Google+.

In my experience, Google Now is a surprisingly clever way at providing relevant widgets with zero customization, so it seems like a great onramp to that experience.

Given how long it had been since an iGoogle refresh, it's probably fair to say that other than someone keeping the lights on, there is no iGoogle team.

I thought about this as soon as I saw the keynote for Google Now. The visual elements of Google Now would really work well in a multicolumn layout in the browser. That would be one of the best home page experiences imaginable.

The only thing I'm wondering about is how aware could it be as far as location/traffic goes. I wonder if it would have to pull from the data collected on an Android phone or tablet to be truly predictive.

Since iGoogle is slated to be sunset (in late 2013), maybe Google Now is it's logical successor?

Correct grammar: Google Now will be awesome if it happens

i thought they were going to be getting rid of iGoogle soon...
