It may not be Facebook just yet, but Google is taking some of its features and making them more social networking friendly.
On the company's official blog, vice president Marissa Mayer and product manager Rose Yao write that the newly formatted social gadgets feature allows users to interact with friends, play games and share news from outlets like NPR.
There's also a virtual to-do list feature that helps disorganized individuals try to stay on top of their myriad tasks. Mayer and Yao explain that a total of 19 new gadgets were launched.
Friends can stay in close contact with one another through the sites's new updates tool that allows people to post pictures, video, social events and anything else they deem newsworthy to peers.
The fresh Google gadgets are currently available in Australia and will be making their American debut later this week, the blog announces. 'Don't fret if you don't see your iGoogle page updated yet - just check back soon,' the team wrote.
For those who absolutely cannot be away from their laptops, Blackberries or iPhones, Google's social networking tools may help them continue to feel uber-connected to the universe at all times.
