I'm interested in what widgets (content) are easily available. I can get used to any sort of design (look and feel, usability) although I have a strong preference for simple simple simple. I'm looking for widgets like slashdot, London Review of Books, BBC Headlines, Real Astrology, NOAA weather, German-English translation. Those were things that I got easily from iGoogle. They discontinued it only to force people to use Chrome which I recommend only if you want to live almost entirely in Google's cloud aka surveillance. Seriously I am shocked by the almost complete lack of privacy or security you have once you start using Chrome.
