Nice, can making it Yahoo style home page or portal.

 

Drag and drop content boxes.


I like that I can turn my gmail previews on or off.

 

FINALLY!

Very cool - simple, clean (as always) Drag and drop how cool is that!

 

We will eventually be able to display ANY rss feed we want.

 

[mental not to self - investigate these 'RSS Feeds' everyone is talking about]

Sometimes I REALLY feel like I'm out of touch with the modern world
- HTML
- Front Page
- Internet Explorer
- heck I even have a phone WITH a cord

I need to 'catch up'

 

I give it a so so rating... then again, it is beta.

 

Is Google becoming a portal just like MSN / YAhoo! ?

Is this what we were all afraid of ?

Comments please.

 

It's pretty cool huh... I love the BBC and shashdot news and Gmail intergration, although it would be nice to be able to specify what sections of the news I'm most interested in then get relevant results.

We're talking about a company that specialises in relevant results here aren't we???

 

Hit the button saying, "start to personalize my portal now" or something like that

THe option that you want, will appear then

I HATE GOOGLE. I WANT MY SIMPLE GOOGLE, NOT SOME DAMN PORTAL

 

It says you can choose how many stories from BBC I want to appear, just not what category I want the stories to come from...

 

It's coming SE with RSS in about a month. Mentioned in the show yesterday http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=16525 and yesterdays thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=16547

Thanks for the info...

I need to keep my eyes open more

 

What language would it be written in that lets you drag and drop stuff on a web page?

 

How do you mean?

 

that's javascript.
