I think I see where the confusion is coming from:
Derek has probably bookmarked an old google service called igoogle,
which was like a sort of personalised homepage.
On this page is a note at the top saying "iGoogle will not be
available after November 1, 2013".
Immediately next to this is a link saying "learn more". I don't know
quite why Derek was unable to click this link, but it leads to the
following URL http://goo.gl/Sq8HR which says the following; again,
note that this is only a specific old google personalised page, and
it's not happening for 16 months. Rather different from the $191
billion dollar company closing!
"What's happening to iGoogle?
iGoogle will be retired in 16 months, on November 1, 2013. The mobile
version will be retired on July 31, 2012.
How did you come to this decision?
We originally launched iGoogle in 2005 before anyone could fully
imagine the ways that today's web and mobile apps would put
personalized, real-time information at your fingertips. With modern
apps that run on platforms like Chrome and Android, the need for
something like iGoogle has eroded over time, so we’ll be winding down
iGoogle on November 1, 2013, giving you a full 16 months to adjust or
easily export your iGoogle data."
