On April 2009, Glamour launched its first Google widget.[2] [3]  iGoogle, which allows users to create a custom version of the Google home page with select regions of content, or “gadgets,” will begin hosting a gadget for Glamour.com. The Glamour.com gadget potentially opens the site to an audience of iGoogle users. ===Glamour Woman of the Year Awards[edit] === Each autumn, the magazine organizes the “Glamour Woman of the Year Awards” which recognize women in the public eye. In 2007 Lorena Ochoa won a Woman of the Year award. In 2008 the award was granted to two Yemenis: 10 year-old divorcee Nujood Ali, and the lawyer who took on her case.[4] [5]  Nujood's courage was praised by prominent attendees, including Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-EvansNov2008_6-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6]  The 2010 Glamour Woman of the Year was Cher. ===U.S. Editors<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] === ==Glamour Top College Women Awards<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[edit] == <p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Each year for the last 56 years, the magazine has been selecting a top ten list of outstanding college women across the country.
