The shuttering of IG suddenly makes sense.

  How so? Now doesn't seem to make any sense to me one the desktop (location aware notifications?) while I use IG many many many times per day to watch news feeds, common sites I like to go to, etc. It just organizes the stuff I care about, but it's what I want rather then how Now tries to figure it out for me. I've found Now useful on my phone, don't get me wrong, but I might consult it once a week or less.

    Not justifying it at all -- I use IG as well and think it is absurdly dumb of them to shutter it. However, it now makes sense as to why they'd close it: they're trying to get people to use Google Now instead.

      Just to be clear, you are talking about iGoogle[1], right? [1]: https://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2664197 https://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&#38...

      IG is crufty. Most widgets had bit rotted. IG needs a next-generation implementation and marketing.
