Build your own Google Homepage
Posted under Web/Tech
In the back of my mind I always sort of wondered if and when Google would create a homepage feature. Apparently, today is the day. They have created a Personalized Homepage option where you can use their tools to customize it pretty much to your hearts content. Add weather, customized news feeds, quote of the day, word of the day, maps, and games to name a few… Pretty cool, but I think Yahoo was the first to do this at http://my.yahoo.com
“The personalized homepage was created to bring together the stuff that interests you from across the web. From an engineering perspective, this became an opportunity to create a framework for all types of content and information. Supporting RSS and Atom feeds was one step in that direction, and today we’re excited to start supporting richer web apps as well. With the Google Homepage API, developers can now create modules for the personalized homepage. It’s designed to be flexible and easy to use, and you don’t need to download anything to create a module. To get the ball rolling, the team’s created a few modules to add to the directory. So check these out and get started creating your own.”
