Google has released a new feature known as the Personalized Homepage. It is much like Yahoo or MSN's, however there are a few nifty features, and some interesting ones.

With it, you can easily check anything from what's new in your Gmail account to how the weather is. Google released this today as a birthday present to us, since it's their 7th birthday.

What's interesting is it even has one feature, called "Ask Yahoo!", that is actually run by Yahoo!, their opponent. It would seem they know what they are doing.

I've already made my Google Home my homepage. And it's staying that way. :)

Same here, I find the Gmail contingent to be the most handy. I'm excited to see what new features they will release and I'm sure there will be more. :)

Very cool ^_^

I would use it but we keep our ISP as the home page since my mom and dad need to check email the first thing when they log on :/

This has been out for awhile. They just made it actually redirect the main page to that now. :) I set mine up before it was fully released, so I'm ready to go.

Did you say new? I thought that this was released months ago ... anyway i think it completely deteres away from Googles main attraction; simplicity. I dont want links all over the place going to irrelevant external areas, or fancy images to my email account. I want to search and get relevant results in a click. Something which i feel Google is now overlooking.

Google has done some pretty cool stuff so far and started some very interesting projects. Gmail is by far the best email program out there, at least I think it is.

Cool, at first it looked boring but with a little customization, it can be good.

I think this thing was used to make this: http://www.potter411.com
