Google Offers Personalized Search

Ryan Barrett writes " Google is just overflowing with news today. Along with the recently announced UI redesign, they've launched a personalized search engine on Google Labs. It's still beta, but it looks pretty cool. (Note that it probably uses technology acquired when they bought Kaltix last year.) Other announcements include Web Alerts, a 'numrange' command, and image search built into Google News."

I may not know art, but...

So I pre-bias my search to concentrate on information sources with which I'm already well acquainted.

Isn't this a bit like watching the Fox News Channel?

Browser problems?

On my system, I am seeing the text of the search results overflow to the right onto the sponsored links area. Then upon scrolling the page up and down, the text gets snipped off as the sponsored links area overwrites it.

I know this is probably something to do with my old Netscape 3 browser, but the later browsers seem so bloated I haven't wanted to mess with them. As another thread on Slashdot was discussing, I considered Netscape 3 good enough and never messed with updating it.
