That now Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and New Zealand now have personal homepages ..

I always thought that the /ig was universal for all country codes..

Now, in my humble opinion it is meant for the US. But everybody is using the US stuff as a kind of international stuff.

What surely is new is the localisation...

Well the UK's /ig is still using the old way of adding modules (that sliding menu on the left). Which is odd since there are no major language issues from US to UK.

See for yourself http://www.google.co.uk/ig (you may have to sign in again).

ok so that means I am stupid...

I thought that .fi/ig or .uk/ig or .de/ig are commanly used all over the google domains.

...maybe its because I am so used to the intl .com/ig that I have never changed
