iGoogle has long been Google’s very own way of enabling users to personalize their Google experience, with a long list of widgets, services and other in-built attributes that help them to create an online environment that is familiar to them.

Now, Google has announced that, it has introduced all new social networking features in iGoogle for all its users. One of the most unique and useful features incorporated in iGoogle, is the “Send To” link, with which, users will be able to share their Google Reader feeds with their friends and contact via Blogger, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, Reddit, StumbleUpon and Twitter.

Google has introduced 19 Google gadgets for iGoogle users, that have been designed specifically to enable users to enhance social networking boundaries. A flurry of gadgets ranging from gaming, media , social outreach etc. such as ‘Who has the biggest brain?’, Chess, Scrabble, YouTube, NPR and The Huffington Post have been added for the users.

The Google Reader sharing feature can be enable via the Google Reader settings page. Wherein, users will be given a host of social networks to choose from and select their choices to share their feeds. Aside from the above mentioned features, users can now share their daily updates with others, using the all new “Updates” feature.
