Graphical Layout

Above: iGoogle
Below: BBC

I am going to look at two websites that allow you to play around with the layout of the page, for example the BBC website.

So obviously I am going to use BBC as one example and the other website I am going to use is iGoogle.

BBC
The BBC home page allows you to move around various widgets that are available on the site, you can click on the widget and move it into another section, you can click on edit and check different options, for example you change the News from just the UK to Worldwide news. You can also remove a widget or expand/minimise it.

iGoogle
iGoogle works in a strikingly similar way to the BBC homepage. The format is identical in the form of being able to move a widget, edit a widget, change the widgets settings and being able to maximise/minimise the widget. iGoogle is also a community and you can share widgets.

Comparison
The only difference between these two websites are the fact that iGoogle has share options while the BBC website has a much better appearance. I would personally choose the BBC website over the iGoogle site but in terms of relevance iGoogle is superior because of it's community aspect.
