Google Personalized Homepage

I have read a few blogs and articles today about googles new personalized style. I was quite surprised at some of the reactions and comments I read. Not all in favour that is. Each to their own i guess, I for one really like it. I get the same functionality as before, the classic google search box usually the starting point of any browse session. Prior to the change I would hit msn and check my hotmail account, read delete etc, then check blog for spam with the ever decreasing hope that someone out there might have posted a real comment. One day at a time the gurus tell us.

I would log into adsense, followed by Analytics, logging in with different passwords, now everything is in the one place it helps keep things organised. Initially I could’t find a way to add url’s onto the home page, but after looking through the tools section of the ‘add stuff ‘ i found bookmarks.

You just paste your desired links into the little pop up box. The layout is modular, so you can delete, or move them around to display the page to your requirements. There are literally hundreds of these add ons You can also add extra tabs allowing futher categorisation. A few fifferent themes to choose from, and I’m sure loads more to investigate. So what do you think, any other features i should know about?
