Well first it was ashton with his drive for the first million users on twitter.com, then oprah broke the story on her show. (sorry did not see it). Now our friendly search giant is going after the celebrity craze with a new feature on igoogle called google showcase.
Google is bringing out its inner obsession with celeb users by launching iGoogle Showcase, which allows you to see and share the homepages of your favorite celebs. The current site showcases iGoogle homepages from celebs such as Rachael Ray, Al Gore, and Katie Couric. The showcase also highlights web celebs like Kevin Rose, Arianna Huffington, and Seth Godin.
The iGoogle Showcase lets you copy your favorite celeb’s iGoogle page to your own, or browse through the collection and choose different gadgets and themes to include from varying pages. Some celebs have created customized gadgets that you can embed. For example, Ryan Seacrest’s gadget lets you keep up with all the latest entertainment news. Donald Trump’s gadget offers advice to entrepreneurs, Martha Stewart shares recipes and tips, and Anderson Cooper delivers headline news and extras from his CNN show AC360.
Now you can see that if your into the drive for celebs then this one thing you must see. I noticed less then ten minutes ago and thought about writing about it because hey even Ryan Seacrest needs a little igoogle love.
Check it out and you can see that celebrities now have a new medium to get their name out even further into the World Wide Web and it will only get more extreme as other sites plug in to this little market.
