Hi iGoogle developers,

Thank you for your contributions to the iGoogle platform.

We wanted to let you know that we will be removing support for the
social features in iGoogle gadgets on January 15, 2012. We built
social features for iGoogle a few years back and the web has evolved a
lot since then. We recently announced open signups for Google+, our
new product for bringing real-life sharing to the web, and we will
focus on building out the Google+ platform for social interactions.

Our blog post for the deprecation:

Google+ open signups:

As a part of this change, you may have to update your gadget(only if
it uses iGoogle’s social APIs) to ensure it continues to work well
without social features. We’ve put together documentation to help you
make the necessary changes at:

If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this email.

Again, thank you for your support of iGoogle.
