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."
Seriously, I guess Google just got a new lease on life, considering it's supposed to die in 5 years, according to Microsoft.
Would be even nicer if i can integrate my yahoo mail too! ;-)
Well personally I'm happy that Google keeps trying harder and harder to become the all-encompasing mega corp that we all need to place our faith in... An I for one welcome... eh.
This is the opinion of The Oi Group's IT guy, not of The Oi Group. It's probably complete nonesense anyway.
It's simple really. CowboyNeal is having an affair with google. That has to be it. Everything is coming together now. I wonder if he'll leak out the video tape Paris Hilton style. That would be awesome. I so want to be CowboyNeal, unless of course he ends up with some kind of google std.
.. Who am I kidding, you know I'd still hit it.
Slashdot is world famous. A roving random distributed denial of service attack before which web, network and systems administrators alike quake and have terrible nightmares about.
How many other tech news sites can claim that?

...it'll be gone in 5 years. Oh well, I'm sure MSN will have something to replace it.

Where's the Beta?
The "!" in Yahoo keeps me from considering it as a serious organization, nevermind the backwoods, redneck exclamation connotations it tends to evoke (not to mention the multiple cookies set).
I'm much more comfortable with a made-up word like "Google".

Don't feel bad, the Canadian page is doing the same thing. And everyone knows that you have to work to dislike Canadians...
Are you kidding?? I can't wait until this page gets an RSS feed!
Useless trivia: that page is actually the #1 hit (on Google, of course) for "seizure"

Google had 3.2 billion dollars revenue in 2004.
In a few years, you'll be driving your google to the google to buy some google for your google.
You can get anywhere with that! Maybe they should call it Google Passport!
Even if I change the redirection limit in Firefox to 99999 it still doesn't work.
