googlesystem.blogspot.com — People spend a lot of time in email applications, so it makes sense to have links to other applications and useful information next to the email. Some would like to see their bookmarks, others would find useful to have their agenda and the list of to-do items.

Nice idea and I may use it, but when you put too much stuff together, you sometimes lose the sense of what you intended to do actually. Easily to be distracted.

f**k yeah, I hate that. Defeats the purpose of signatures because then you have to add the signature yourself, seeing as how no one is ever going to scroll past their own e-mail message to see if you left a signature after it.Also, I hate how replying to an e-mail throws you back to the message you were replying to, instead of back to the inbox. If you replied to a message, why would you want to go back to reading it? I e-mailed Google about this, and also got nothing back.

They go to all the trouble of adding Gmail functionality to the iGoogle page, but then they don't format the HTML leaving me to copy and paste every link? Is this a security/phishing issue? I promise not to click the link that sends my bank account information to Nigeria.

Yeah, what a massive dick move. They didn't even make it an option. I've been looking for an alternative homepage ever since.

Dugg for the "invite a friend" point. That is annoying.
