New Google Homepage Features

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-many-submissions-about-this dept.

SecularG writes "It seems that Google has added new features to it's Personalized Home. To edit the content of your personalized homepage you click 'Add Content' in the top right, and a list of options slide out from the left. You can add your own bookmarks, select from more news feeds, and add your own RSS news feeds." Of course since Slashdot is already available from their default list of technology sites, why would you need the ability to include an RSS feed?

    It takes less bandwidth to see a dupe headline with RSS than it does when one reloads the entire slashdot mainpage. [rimshot]

    It's good to be reminded that Slashdot is a Technology, not a Lifestyle.

    Can you believe this? Yahoo has totally ripped off this way cool feature from google! They have this thing where you can add RSS feeds to your portal to get content from anywhere. Google has had it for a week, and now Yahoo! is jumping on the bandwagon. I'm not sure what this RSS thing is but I'm pretty sure google invented it. Man, they are the greatest company ever.

    "It's" = "It is". The possessive is "its". Why is that so freaking difficult to grasp?

    Because it's illogical: most other possessives have an apostrophe. And a short survey of modern English usage (as seen, for example, on Slashdot) will tell you that the usage is changing: quite possibly the apostrophe in the possessive "it's" will be the norm in a few years time.

    Still, I'm glad you're not pompous.

    Nah! If Google had bought Slashdot, they would have renamed it gDot.

    Feh. It's going to be really hard to be an elitist techno jerk with you people here always reminding us who the intended users of the product are!
