This is just another attempt by Google to take control of another aspect of the internet, but the users aren’t falling for it and sticking with real social networks that allow them to really manage their own space.

Nobody (not even Google), is can be the best at everything. That's one thing, that Google has yet to figure out yet, even with all those PHd's. Just part of the problem of having too much money to throw around. They can't stay out of everyone else's back yard. Top Rated Digital's last blog post..The Top 10 Digital Cameras Ripped Apart

Anyone with multiple Google accounts will find iGoogle quite a pain anyway. Every time I log out of Adsense and log into my Adwords for example (Vice-versa) Google gives me a new iGoogle page. Mr Marketing's last blog post..My way of generating revenue with BANS (Build a niche store)

UGH! I use iGoogle to manage my RSS subscriptions and it does a GREAT job of doing that. I don’t want it to be more “social”!!!

GRRR!!!!

There are a TON of “improvements” that NEED to be made to Gmail as well as iGoogle. I wish they’d focus on improving what doesn’t work well instead of piling more “features” we don’t want or need!

iGoogle is a great tool and the idea of making it social is good. However, this email issue is something they definitely need to resolve.

I myself *love* iGoogle! However, I can understand the privacy concerns that this raises. Therefore what I do is have Outlook manage my email contacts for me, and I will delete any that might be in my gmail address book. Outlook not your cup of tea? there are many email clients out there even an open source one! Joe Hall's last blog post..ICANN Hands Out SEO Gold Nuggets to Large Corporations

It seems that Google will continue plugging away until their social efforts are rewarded with success. The way around the email issue is to not use gmail for email, perhaps? Personally I use gmail as a backup, with the bulk of my email going through our office server.

Yeah, I’m not keen on Gmail adding anyone and everyone to your contacts, just one of the few flaws that need ironing out.

Actually its a nice service for someone like me who tends to forget people's email ids and also does not store them anywhere else. I am always glad that it is availale to me when I decide to look for it in my gmail id. Eva White's last blog post..The Ideal Holiday

Think about how many people you email that you don’t consider “friends” and don’t want to see or share information with!

I’m seriously thinking about switching to Zoho Mail now that it’s available. Zoho’s services are not as easy or integrated, but maybe we don’t want integrated.

Wonder how many of us would share what we’re doing on Twitter if it was owned by Google?

Thanks for keeping us informed.
