Slashdot Mirror
New Google Homepage Features
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?

The difference is this isn't google.com, but google.com/ig, a portal you choose to visit. If you're just googling you wont notice.

yahoo.com. What a pointless and crowded web portal.
use search.yahoo.com for a bare bones interface
Don't be an idiot, please.

If you are running the customize google firefox extension these new features will work very poorly or not at all depending on what preferences you have set. Just an FYI for anyone having problems.

That would be a matter of slashdot's RSS policy (30 min between checks), not Google's fault.
Yahoo! also has the advantage in that they have integrated RSS into their search. Notice that a few of the sites have "RSS: ... Add to My Yahoo!" in the search results. Very handy.

They've got the RSS option, so you can pull any data source in RSS that you'd like into the Portal.
