In July, Google announced its plans to shut down iGoogle, its personalized homepage which users customized with gadgets of their choosing, including things like Twitter updates, shopping lists, calendar appointments, news feeds, weather and more. There was a surprising amount of backlash at the time - apparently, some folks out there were still pretty reliant on having a one-stop shop portal as their starting point for "surfing the net." (Hey, I figured I'd throw in some old-school web lingo if we're talking about something as dated as personalized homepages here.) Case in point: this comment thread where folks complained about the iGoogle loss. So what's a former iGoogler to do? Well, believe it or not, there's a new startup that wants to bring back the personalized homepage. Meet Backstitch.
