iGoogle allows users to personalise their web page so they can have features that they want as easy access. With life's rapidly increasing time demands, it is ideal having everything needed in the one place. There are many gadget that can be added to suit individual needs like maps, notes, weather, news feeds,games, quotes, calendars...... the list is endless.
A powerful feature that I use constantly is the RSS feeds. This allows users to become very efficient at scanning web pages for key terms and information. I have my Google reader as a gadget. This is a powerful tool to use with students as they engage with projects.
