Hi Derek, You're pretty good at panic reporting ,Smile>. You'd never make a journalist. You should research before you report such inaccuracy. Just sayin.

I was able to click the link for: http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2664197 But still thought Google was closing next year. Regards, Derek -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jonathan H Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 1:38 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Google closing down I think I see where the confusion is coming from: Derek has probably bookmarked an old google service called igoogle, which was like a sort of personalised homepage. On this page is a note at the top saying "iGoogle will not be available after November 1, 2013". Immediately next to this is a link saying "learn more". I don't know quite why Derek was unable to click this link, but it leads to the following URL http://goo.gl/Sq8HR which says the following; again, note that this is only a specific old google personalised page, and it's not happening for 16 months. Rather different from the $191 billion dollar company closing! "What's happening to iGoogle? iGoogle will be retired in 16 months, on November 1, 2013. The mobile version will be retired on July 31, 2012. How did you come to this decision? We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for something like iGoogle has eroded over time, so we'll be winding down iGoogle on November 1, 2013, giving you a full 16 months to adjust or easily export your iGoogle data."
