Google Personalized
Google is now offering a personalized version of its main page. That is basically the old Google main page on top, and your personalized selection of info on the bottom. News, stockmarket ticker, weather, the usual stuff. Unfortunately stockmarket symbols and weather are limited to the US, so if you live in Europe and would prefer to know the local weather and share prices, you are out of luck.
I'm using it anyway, because you can also show the latest mails in your GMail inbox. I really like GMail, and being able to quickly check if you have mail on the search page of Google is useful.
By the way, I now have accumulated the right to invite up to 50 people to GMail, just by using it and Blogger regularly. So if you are one of the few persons who still hasn't got a GMail account but would like one, just send me a mail with your real name and current e-mail account, and I'll send you an invite.
