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. :)

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.

The great thing about google is that even though they have this feature you aren't required to see or use it. You can still get to the normal google screen if you don't want to see the personalized setup.

The nice thing I find with the personlized one is that I can get only the types of news I care about, the weather I care about, and my gmail all on my start page and on top of it all.... NO ADS!

I am using it and love it because I can see the newest slashdot, CNN, Wired, and other tech news without having to go to like 9 different sites. I get the news I want without the hastle.

I really like what google is doing and hope they continue.
