We noticed that there are many money scams circulating the web. Some money scams attempt to look like they are from Google when they're really not. We strongly recommend this Official Google Blog post that offers great tips on detecting and fighting such money scams. We hope you'll share this information with your family and friends. They'll appreciate it and so will their pockets.

Update: We deployed a fix for this issue on Monday, June 8th. If you experience any problems, please post in the forum.
We're aware that some feeds on iGoogle are displaying a "Loading..." message but never actually loading the feed. Thank you to our users in this thread (as well as several other posts) for reporting the issue.
We're working to fix this problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, you may be able to get your feeds to load correctly by refreshing your iGoogle page.

We're excited to announce that the Google Video community will soon join the Web Search Help Forum. Why are we making this change? Google Video will cease to offer uploads but will continue to serve as a resource for people to find videos.
Anyone can easily search for videos from all over the web using Google Video. Finding things is the heart of what Web Search is all about so we're gladly taking Google Video under our wings.
We hope the Google Video community will like their new home and we've included some helpful links below that you can check out:

UPDATE: We believe this issue has been resolved. If you find yourself getting signed out of iGoogle frequently, please post in the forum.
Several users have reported that they're getting signed out of iGoogle several times each day. This is not the way it's supposed to work, and we're investigating the issue on our end.
If you're affected by this problem, please first check to make sure this isn't a problem with your computer or network; instructions for checking are located in this Help Center article. Once you've eliminated those possibilities, if you'd like to discuss this further please post in this thread.

Do you like iGoogle themes? Have you been itching to make one, but don't want to master the technical details of putting it together? Good news -- we're launching a new, simple way to make iGoogle themes! You can learn more about it on the Official Google Blog.
To get started, just visit the new tool.
Keep in mind that the new tool doesn't offer all the options that the iGoogle Theme API does, such as the ability to change pictures at certain times during the day or put a picture at the bottom of the page. If you'd like to try your hand at a more advanced theme, you can find the documentation at the iGoogle Theme API site.

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that we're actually still working on chat, and haven't launched it fully yet. If you don't see chat on your iGoogle page yet, hang in there. I'll post another announcement when we've launched the feature to everyone.
Last night, we officially launched chat on iGoogle. If you use iGoogle on .com and in English and you're signed in to your Google Account, you'll see a chat section -- like the one in Gmail -- on the left navigation.
Some of you might have seen chat on your homepage for a while already; we were trying it as an experiment and collecting feedback. One of the most common pieces of feedback we got was to make chat optional and leave an easy way to disable it, so ... we did.
To disable chat, visit the iGoogle settings page, click 'Hide chat' in the top section and save your settings (you can always re-enable it on the left navigation). Some more info about chat is available in the Help Center.
ttyl :)
