For those of you that use Google’s personalized home page, iGoogle, you may have noticed that there are now even more options as far as your themes are concerned. Google recently added themes by “world class artists and innovators” like Jackie Chan, The Wiggles, and yes, even Coldplay.

‘m a bit upset at this because it was my idea and I explicit
demand for Google using it and they stiffed me.
Here is my idea as I proposed it 6 months ago on the New York
Times Blog about google and yahoo using. It was the first
comment.

and-google-to-turn-e-mail-into-a-social-network/
“For your grand launch of the IGoogle social network have
Takashi Murakami design themes exclusively for IGoogle. He is
expensive but Google can afford him and trust me people will
sign up in drove just to have his themes as their background on
IGoogle. Of course there are many other famous underground
and main stream artists that would get a great response as well.
If Google decides to use my ideas, I want a tour of Googleplex
and I want to meet Sergey and give him a haircut. These are my
terms and I’m not budging.

I’m sure someone at Google got a bonus for proposing this idea
to their boss. I hope they choke on it.
