Today I typed Google.com into my URL box in my Firefox browser and Google.com automatically redirected me to iGoogle, the Google Account holder personalized homepage.

This is the first time I have witnessed this automatic serving of the Google Personalized Homepage to a registered Google user. Personally, I hardly ever visit the Google.com homepage, as I search Google via their Firefox extension or the Google Toolbar, or use GMail as my Google entry page.

Today however I decided to check out Google.com, and was redirected, which makes sense as Google is working to become more and more or a universal channel oriented portal.

After logging out of my Google account I also noticed that Google.com is redirecting to the iGoogle homepage, even if the user does not hold a Google Account.
