Google acquires Labpixies
Monday, April 26, 2010
Not everyone likes to start their day with just a search box and logo (no matter how cool it is!). Many users want email, videos, news, weather, games, and other information to be at their fingertips each time they open up a browser window. We launched iGoogle in 2005 to address this need by providing a truly personalized homepage with access to any RSS feed and well over a hundred thousand gadgets.
One of the first developers to create gadgets for iGoogle was
Labpixies
. Over the years, we worked closely together on a variety of projects, including the launch of a number of global
OpenSocial based gadgets
. Recently, we decided that we could do more if we were part of the same team, and as such, we're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Labpixies.
The team will be based in our ever-growing Tel Aviv office and will anchor our iGoogle efforts across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. We are looking forward to working with Labpixies to develop great web apps and leverage their knowledge and expertise to help developers and improve the ecosystem overall.

Legacy gadget API deprecation
Monday, September 14, 2009
If you're a gadget developer, you've probably used the
gadgets.*
API, a re-namespaced and improved version of the original
legacy
, or _IG_*, gadgets API. The gadgets.* API has gained wide acceptance, both on Google and non-Google gadget containers, and is the standard API for gadget development.
However, there remains a number of gadgets using the legacy API, primarily gadgets developed for iGoogle, and the time to upgrade those gadgets is now. As of today, the legacy gadgets API is officially deprecated. For a period of one year, gadgets using the legacy API will continue to be supported, and function. After that, the legacy API will be turned off for the majority of Google containers (such as iGoogle, orkut, Gmail, and Calendar).
For more specifics on how the deprecation affects iGoogle developers, and details on coming resources to help in the API transition, check out
this post
on the iGoogle developer blog.

iGoogle adds support for OpenSocial
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
Developers using the OpenSocial API can now reach tens of millions of iGoogle users! As of this week, iGoogle now supports OpenSocial in both the US and Australia, with the plan to roll it out to more users soon. In general, we think "social is better" when it comes to the web - activities such as reading the news, doing a crossword puzzle, sharing a todo list, or watching a video are all better when done with a friend. These are all things that iGoogle users love to do, so making them social on iGoogle was the next logical next step.
If you're interested in getting started writing social gadgets for iGoogle, check out the
full announcement
on the iGoogle developer blog.

iGoogle launches canvas view
Thursday, October 16, 2008
By Dan Holevoet, Developer Programs
We're happy to announce the launch of the
canvas view
feature to iGoogle users in the U.S., rolling out over the course of the day. The canvas view feature allows gadget developers to build richer content, games, and UI for iGoogle's tens of millions of users by allowing them to build powerful full-page applications. In addition, canvas view provides developers with the opportunity to monetize their gadgets.
To get started, check out the documentation and examples on the
iGoogle developer website
. The site includes detailed information about iGoogle as well as information on upcoming
OpenSocial
functionality.
Try out the updated version of
iGoogle
and check out some of the great
canvas view gadgets
developers have already built.
Updated Themes API for iGoogle
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
By Kathleen Ko, iGoogle Team
We are excited to open up an updated Themes API for developers to customize new features coming to iGoogle. Features you can modify include the left navigation and UI updates introduced in the iGoogle developer sandbox in April, as well as the chat feature that was released to the sandbox last week. If you have already created one of the 800 themes in the iGoogle directory, make sure to update your theme with the latest attributes and resubmit.
You can more details in the updated
developer's guide
. We're hoping these feature additions will allow for developers to customize even more of iGoogle.
As always, questions and feedback are welcome in the
Google Themes API group
.
Developer sandbox for iGoogle launches
Monday, April 21, 2008
By Saurabh Mathur, iGoogle Team
Today, we're excited to open up a developer sandbox for
iGoogle
. The sandbox includes support for
OpenSocial
, a common API designed to let you easily build social applications that run on a growing number of web containers. The iGoogle OpenSocial container also supports
canvas view
, allowing developers to build powerful and feature-rich full-page applications for iGoogle's tens of millions of users.
To get started, please begin with the documentation and examples on the
iGoogle developer website
. The site includes detailed information about iGoogle and a guide to incorporating the new social features.
Watch as Jake walks us through the sandbox and shows how to build a basic gadget.
Sign up
for access to the developer sandbox and keep up-to-date with our new
iGoogle Developer Blog

Happy coding!
iGoogle Themes API
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
By Jesse Shieh, Software Engineer
Recently, on a trip to Shanghai, I snapped a bunch of incredible street photos for my friends and family back home. When I logged into my iGoogle page and was greeted by my iGoogle theme, I suddenly wished I could create my own theme out of my Shanghai pictures and share it with my friends - wouldn't that be a great way to personalize iGoogle even further? It turns out that many of you have been asking for this feature for a while too, and we've listened to your requests. I'm excited to announce that after today's launch of the iGoogle Themes API, we can all get started on making and sharing our own themes.
Creating your own theme isn't rocket science. If you can create a webpage, then you can create a theme. There are only three steps involved: designing images for the header and footer, entering metadata and color information in an XML file, and submitting the theme. To find out more about the API, start with the
developer guide
. You can also take a look at the terrific example themes (shown below) built by designers Yves Behar, Mark Frauenfelder, Troy Lee, and John Maeda that showcase different parts of the API. These themes, along with themes you submit, will be available in the new themes directory for the millions of iGoogle users. So
try it out
and let us know
what you think
!
