Slashdot Mirror
A Peek at Personalized Google
Seoulstriker writes "Sci-tech Today is describing how Google will be offering customized homepages as seen here. Is this one step closer to Google becoming a web portal like Yahoo? Although it is not currently in Beta, it is only available through the Google Labs site. It definitely doesn't look like Yahoo yet, but I don't want my search site to be any more cluttered than it is now."
I just hope they don't execute Order 66...
You know it's slashdot when we rely on our browser first to tell us that the story's a dupe before we bother using our memories
Global symbol "$deity" requires explicit package name at line 2. - If only $scripture started "use strict;"

Welcome to the World Wide Web.
Let me show you around a bit. Over here we have what we call a "Hyperlink". A hyperlink has a number of features.
Hyperlinks are usually underlined, and usually a different colour to the rest of the text (blue by convention, unless the web site design specifies otherwise)
When you click on a hyperlink, you web browser will take you to the page it references.
If you have already been to that page, the hyperlink will be a different colour to one that refers to a page you have not visited (purple by convention or sometimes red, depending on the browser, unless the web site design specifies otherwise).
This is standard behaviour in all graphical web browsers, and has been since HTML was invented, around about 15 years ago. I appreciate that you probably weren't born then, and so therefore may think this is a new feature, or one limited to Firefox.
