I'm going to have to find a new Home page when IGoogle shuts down in a couple of weeks.

Any suggestions? I have a lot of mail, bookmarks, calendar, etc.. that I want to move over with. As I understand it, I can still have the Google widgets, such as Calendar, Notes, Mailbox, etc.. (I have gmail), but I'm not sure.

NONE work as well on the Ipad.

Maybe yahoo, but formatting limited compared with beloved IG thus far. Thet have been improving incrementally, but not there yet for me.

MAYBE Netvibes or IgHome.

Gonna miss it. Gonna be angry with google for some time.
