Google's New Personalized Homepage
jgaynor writes "Citing user requests to coalesce its disparate services, Google today released its new personalized homepage service. It allows you to arrange your Gmail, Google News, Google Maps driving directions, weather and a few select news services (including Slashdot) on a single page. Future plans include Universal RSS support. Clearly a shot at existing services like My Yahoo."
As opposed to something that is not ugly, cluttered & disappointing :-)
No, I think that it is actually quite Yahoo'esk. That's the problem. I just expect something better and more innovative from Google.
Google is a fad and a delusion. I've come to this realisation only recently. Google isn't anything more than a search engine with alot of boring, unoriginal add-ons. I'm of the belief there really aren't any spectacularly smart people working at Google and there is no cohesive strategy to "take over the world" or "control all the information on the net". Judging by this steady stream of uninspired new features (Google desktop, accelerator, gmail, gmaps or whatever it's called), they will never be smart or innovative enough to bypass Microsoft Windows to create some sort of ubiquitous online operating platform - which I wish someone would do.
All this stuff is a distraction to divert users/stockholders attention from the fact there is no innovation and no strategy.
