I love my igoogle. Now sure this Google Now is going the fit me like igoogle

Yes. I dont know what Ill do

protopage "might" work for me. Checking out some of the Chrome apps. Just don't know.

maybe www.symbaloo.com

I found a page that was ok- but I couldn't add my RSS feed and other parts of iGoogle.

we are talking about a 'dashboard', I think. If you have good skills you can use CSS and Javascript and author a page that replicates iGoogle on any of the blogging platforms

BUT we are really looking for something that lets us use widgets or similar - a drag and drop experience, I suppose

I am working with netvibes, too. Not sure it is doing it for me either. Sigh!

no...we have not used it

I just added FeedSquares to my Chrome browser to read my Google Reader. Okay, I like this!
