Part of my ongoing Google lifestyle experiment is a new IE startup homepage: http://www.google.com/ig. It has a very clean, easy to reconfigure (drag & drop) look & feel. Way less clunky than the my.yahoo.com homepage I used to use. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.
But I had to laugh tonight when I stopped in to get caught up on the news:

Notice the first headline in the ESPN section. Oops. Here's where it pointed:

Which resulted in a custom 404 page from ESPN. I have no idea if this is a glitch on the Google side of things, or ESPN's (although I do have a hunch...)
P.S. Anyone know what the “ig” in the www.google.com/ig is supposed to indicate? I always think “iGoogle” as in “iRobot“, but am pretty sure that's not their intention :-)
