For tens of millions of Internet users, iGoogle has been the ideal homepage for years. Offering complete customization of news, information, games and even social media integration, iGoogle was "home". However, Google has announced that as of November 1, 2013, iGoogle will be shutdown. That's bad news for users with nowhere left to go.

Enter BlueG, the new personalized home page site designed to carry the mantle laid down by iGoogle. BlueG offers users more than a merely "similar" appearance. The company takes the stance that "close isn't good enough." BlueG comprises a wealth of features including those that iGoogle users have come to expect and love such as the ability to customize the homepage with their favorite gadgets, custom news feeds and engaging background themes.

Of course, BlueG is not the only iGoogle replacement out there. Several other services have also created what they hope will become the successor to iGoogle. However, BlueG offers several key advantages to each of these competitors. Perhaps the most important advantage is that BlueG offers a quick and easy means to be up and running again with the very same gadgets and themes users have come to rely on.

BlueG's gadget and theme directories continue to expand, with users already having access to tens of thousands of gadgets and hundreds of themes. Competitor sites tend to offer access to only a handful of poor replica gadgets and themes whereas BlueG offers access to the real deal.

Users will also find that BlueG offers iGoogle's "Canvas View" feature, which is something that no other competitor can claim. Canvas view lets users maximize a gadget full screen with one click of the title bar. Finally, just like iGoogle, BlueG users can add any news feed to their page.
