If you search Google for iGoogle, the new name of the company's Personalized Homepage, the search engine informs you that the product was removed. Go on, visit Google's official page, type iGoogle and press search. "Has been removed," the search result sustains. Although the product was recently improved and it is more stable than ever, the result is quite weird. Maybe the company intended to display this information for the old name of the service, Google Personalized Homepage. Anyway, the unavailability is obvious from the search engine and some inexperienced users might give up registering for the service.

Recently, Google launched only a few products and removed only one: Google Answers. At this time, the search giant owns an impressive number of solutions, most of them available online and only a few for the offline users. The Mountain View company is also planning several products to be released soon such as the presentation tool to complete the Office suite, Presently. The rumors were issued a long time ago when documents containing information about a potential presentation utility designed by Google were discovered but the search giant refused to comment on them. However, the officials recently confirmed the speculations and sustained the service will be released soon.

Now, Google is quite the emperor of the Internet but it wants even more and is continuously struggling to conquer the entire world and even attract the offline users to its products. The main sign of these intentions is represented by the recent acquisitions that are meant to expand the Google advertising platform into the offline media. In the recent period, Google received a lot of awards - such as the top UK brand and the most powerful brand in the world with famous rivals such as Coca Cola or Marlboro - that prove the power of the company.
